Amman: The Ministry of Industry, Trade and Supply announced the start of implementing an intensive and comprehensive inspection plan across all markets in all governorates to ensure the stability of commercial activity and compliance with regulations and laws, in conjunction with increased consumption ahead of the Eid al-Fitr holiday.
According to Jordan News Agency, Assistant Secretary-General and the ministry's spokesperson Qusai Bani Mustafa stated that the ministry has adopted a monitoring program extending until the end of the Eid holiday. He explained that intensifying oversight at this time comes as a precautionary and necessary measure in light of rising demand for goods and services.
Bani Mustafa mentioned that the plan prioritizes the food sector, restaurants, and bakeries to ensure the availability of bread and the continued operation of designated bakeries. The plan also involves verifying the clear display of prices and full compliance with set prices. Inspection tours include fuel stations, gas agencies, clothing, furnishings and gift shops, as well as sweets and confectionery stores, to check declared prices, the legality of announced offers, discounts, clearances, and their compliance with official instructions.
Bani Mustafa confirmed that the ministry is working closely with producers, importers, and relevant entities to ensure the continued flow of goods and the availability of a safe stock that meets citizens' needs. He emphasized that the ministry will not tolerate any violations or attempts to manipulate prices or disrupt market balances, urging citizens to play their supervisory role and cooperate with the ministry in monitoring any infringements.
The ministry encouraged citizens to report complaints through official channels operating under a plan covering both morning and evening periods. This includes a hotline, WhatsApp application, and digital channels such as the "Bikhidmatkom" platform, the ministry's official website, and its Facebook page.
