Promotions and discounts

The inspection teams also scrutinized the validity of promotional offers and seasonal discounts to ensure their legitimacy and prevent consumer deception during this crucial time of year.
Furthermore, inspections extended to shops specializing in the sale of Zakat al-Fitr (charity given at the end of Ramadan) and sweets, guaranteeing the quality of goods and compliance with all regulations governing commercial activity.
Intensive monitoring tours
