Sudanese orders on selling prices after dollar stabilization

On Monday, Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani directed the departments responsible for combating economic crime to pursue and hold accountable those who manipulate prices, particularly food and medicine vendors, bakeries, and ovens, given the “stability of the dollar exchange rate against the Iraqi dinar.”

According to the directive, which Shafaq News Agency has seen, it included: “Given the stability of the exchange rate (dollar) against the Iraqi dinar, it has been observed that some companies, traders and weak-willed individuals are exploiting prices or keeping them as they were without taking into account the stability in the markets, especially food and medicine owners, bakeries and ovens, due to their failure to adjust the selling prices of the materials that citizens need on a daily basis, as there is no clear oversight role by the economic departments to follow up on these cases.”

The directive also stated that, “After the Prime Minister reviewed the above content, he ordered the departments responsible for combating economic crime to monitor and hold accountable those who manipulate prices, take the necessary legal action against them, and coordinate with the Ministries of Commerce, Agriculture, and Health to ensure the stability of the price ratio of items that affect citizens’ lives on a regular basis.”
