TUNIS, March 1 (Xinhua) -- The Tunisian Ministry of Trade and Export Development will intervene if prices of certain products rise during the upcoming Muslim holy month of Ramadan, the Tunis Afrique Presse (TAP) reported on Thursday.
Measures such as setting profit margins or maximum prices will be implemented, the TAP quoted Ramzi Trabelsi, director of the National Supply and Price Observatory, as saying.
Trabelsi said in a video interview with the TAP that the ministry would monitor price fluctuations on a daily basis.
He noted that recent studies conducted by the observatory had shown no significant price increases, except for certain products affected by off-season factors.
The month of Ramadan in Tunisia is expected to begin on March 11 this year. ■
