The Customs Authority warns of an expanded Ahlan Ramadan fair

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.

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.

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

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

He added that stock turnover improved by close to 12% over the last quarter, but that the cost of finance remains the first obstacle to expansion in the governorates.

Where the divisions stand

  • the container shortage at the ports among next quarter’s priorities
  • A review of the timetable with the trade divisions
  • A monthly report to the federation’s board

A number of importers argue that the proposed timetable needs a transition period of at least six months, so that small businesses can adapt their accounting systems.
