The Ministry of Economy and Commerce has announced its discounted consumer goods initiative on more than 500 products. The initiative, which was launched in cooperation with major shopping malls, went into effect on Sunday, May 6, 2018 (20 Shaban, 1439 Hijri) until the end of the holy month of Ramadan.
 
This initiative is part of a series of initiatives launched by the Ministry of Economy and Commerce to mark the holy month of Ramadan 1439 Hijri under the theme “#Aqal_Min_Al_Wajeb”, the Arabic for #The_Least_We_Can_Do”. The initiative comes within the framework of the ministry’s efforts to meet the citizens and residents’ needs of consumer goods at reduced prices during the holy month, when spending on food commodities traditionally increases.
 
The initiative covers basic commodities frequently consumed during the holy month of Ramadan, such as flour, sugar, rice, pasta, Harees, oil, milk, and other food and non-food items.
                                                                                   
The list of discounted consumer goods has been circulated to all major shopping malls in the country, and is accessible to consumers through the Ministry’s website and social network pages.
 
The Ministry stressed that it will not tolerate any violations of the Consumer Protection Law and its regulations, and will intensify its inspection campaigns to crack down on violations. The Ministry said it will refer those who violate laws and ministerial decrees to competent authorities, who will in turn take appropriate action against perpetrators in order to protect consumer rights.
 
The Ministry invited the public to report any violation of the resolution’s provisions, and receives complaints and suggestions through the following channels:
