The foodstuffs division announces easier finance for small enterprises
The meeting closed by forming a joint Chamber–ministry committee, meeting weekly to follow implementation and reporting monthly to the federation’s board.
Analysts expect no immediate effect on consumer prices: current stock covers market needs at least to the end of next quarter.
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 Chamber’s view
The meeting closed by forming a joint Chamber–ministry committee, meeting weekly to follow implementation and reporting monthly to the federation’s board.
The small trader is not asking for a subsidy. He is asking for one clear rule that does not change every three months.
The ministry’s representative stressed that the new rules aim at transparency in the supply chain rather than at fixing prices, and that breaches will go to the Consumer Protection Agency.
The figures in brief
- an expanded Ahlan Ramadan fair among next quarter’s priorities
- A review of the timetable with the trade divisions
- A monthly report to the federation’s board
The Chamber had earlier launched a trader training programme on e-invoicing, taken up by more than 2,100 participants across six governorates.
