This proactive measure aims to prevent merchants from implementing arbitrary increases on essential foodstuffs such as rice, cooking oil, and sugar.
Dedicated teams responsible for this crucial oversight have been strategically deployed, initially across Nouakchott, and are gradually extending their presence to other areas nationwide. This extensive operation is designed to closely scrutinize market conditions, meticulously track stock levels, bolster consumer safeguards, and combat various forms of commercial fraud.
