The Ministry of Industry and Commerce ordered the administrative closure of a commercial outlet in the Capital Governorate following violations of consumer protection and pricing regulations.

The decision resulted from ongoing market inspection campaigns conducted by the ministry, after the outlet increased prices on several food products in breach of applicable laws.

Inspectors also recorded additional violations, including the failure to clearly display prices on several goods and discrepancies between shelf prices and amounts charged at checkout. These practices were non-compliant with consumer protection regulations and established commercial standards.

The ministry reiterated its commitment to intensifying inspection efforts across markets to ensure compliance with regulations, safeguard consumer rights, and maintain overall market stability. It also confirmed that legal action will continue against any establishment violating relevant laws.

Consumers are encouraged to report any suspected violations or unfair commercial practices through official channels, including WhatsApp on 17112225 or via the national complaints and suggestions system, Tawasul, to support ongoing regulatory oversight and consumer protection efforts.
