Doha, Qatar: Qatar has maintained a robust stockpile of essential food and consumer goods to ensure market stability. The Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MoCI) has affirmed that sufficient stock is available in the country to ensure the availability of goods and prevent monopolistic practices.

The inspection campaigns at retail outlets are ongoing around the clock to maintain market stability and prevent price manipulation. The Ministry monitors retail outlets 24/7 with dedicated team of inspectors to ensure availability of goods, prevent price manipulation, and stop monopolistic practices, it stated in post on its X platform.

During inspection visits stock levels at each outlet are monitored and in case of any shortages the suppliers are immediately notified to replenish stock.

Qatar has maintained a strategic stockpile for a while to ensure the availability of essential goods and support supply chains. The public is encouraged to report violations or monopolistic practices.

Recently, Minister of Commerce and Industry, H E Sheikh Faisal bin Thani bin Faisal Al Thani, conducted a field visit to a number of retail outlets across the country as part of ongoing efforts to monitor market conditions and ensure the availability of essential goods and products for consumers.
