Samir Al-Khalfawi, Director of Economic Research at the Ministry of Trade and Export Development, reported that economic monitoring teams conducted 49,774 field visits in August 2025, resulting in the issuance of 7,368 economic violations.

The inspection campaigns covered major consumer products, especially those distributed through essential goods supply chains such as mills and production units. Large quantities of goods were seized, including 72 tons of subsidized grain derivatives, 859 tons of vegetables and fruits, 46 tons of fodder materials, 30 tons of fertilizers, as well as quantities of coffee, tomatoes, and subsidized notebooks.

Al-Khalfawi confirmed that no supply disruptions were recorded in markets, bakeries, or distribution channels, except for some subsidized products like coffee and sugar, which experienced high demand pressure. This was addressed by injecting exceptional quantities that vary from one governorate to another in coordination with the ministry’s regional departments.

The ministry is fully prepared to face challenges during the summer season, which sees increased consumption rates, especially in tourist areas. They continue daily monitoring to ensure the availability of all materials and to supply additional quantities of subsidized products such as flour.
