The Competition Authority reviews rising building-material prices

The Chamber had earlier launched a trader training programme on e-invoicing, taken up by more than 2,100 participants across six governorates.

The meeting closed by forming a joint Chamber–ministry committee, meeting weekly to follow implementation and reporting monthly to the federation’s board.

Chamber figures put the number of registered businesses at 41,000, up by 3,400 on last year, most of them in retail and logistics.

The figures in brief

The division head said the meeting examined the direct effect of the decision on supply inside the local market, and that the Chamber submitted a detailed memorandum carrying traders’ proposals on the timetable.

Transparency in the supply chain is not a burden on the market; it is what protects it from monopoly.
Dr Mona Abdel-Hakim, economic adviser

Analysts expect no immediate effect on consumer prices: current stock covers market needs at least to the end of next quarter.

The Chamber’s view

  • e-invoicing rules for retail among next quarter’s priorities
  • A review of the timetable with the trade divisions
  • A monthly report to the federation’s board
