The Ministry of Trade and Export Development in Tunisia has launched a new series of price reductions on various consumer products, in coordination with major commercial spaces. This move aims to support the purchasing power of citizens. According to Ramzi Trabelsi, Director of the National Observatory of Supply and Prices at the Ministry of Trade, the price cuts will be implemented over the weekend.
The price reductions will apply to several products, including ready-to-cook chicken, which will be sold at 7.900 dinars per kilogram in major commercial spaces on Saturday and Sunday. Other products, such as small and large yogurt drinks, shawarma, and some juices, will also see price cuts of up to 20%. These reductions are part of the ministry's efforts to make essential products more affordable for Tunisian consumers.
In addition to the price cuts in major commercial spaces, the Ministry of Trade will implement a special program at the central market, focusing on reducing prices of poultry products. As part of this program, the price of ready-to-cook chicken will be 7.500 dinars per kilogram, while chicken breast will be sold at 12.000 dinars per kilogram and thighs at 9 dinars per kilogram.
The Ministry of Trade is working to diversify the distribution channels for these price cuts and expand the range of products included in the program. This move is intended to support the purchasing power of citizens and make essential products more accessible. The ministry's efforts aim to alleviate the financial burden on Tunisian consumers.
The price cuts announced this week are part of a broader effort by the Tunisian government to address economic challenges and support citizens. Other recent initiatives include an increase in the public transportation fleet and a rise in the health ministry's budget for 2027. These measures demonstrate the government's commitment to improving the standard of living for its citizens.
According to the Ministry of Trade, the new price cuts will be implemented in a way that benefits both consumers and producers. By working with major commercial spaces and the central market, the ministry aims to create a more stable and affordable food supply. This approach is expected to have a positive impact on the overall economy.
The Tunisian government's efforts to support citizens through price cuts and other initiatives have been welcomed by various stakeholders. The country's economic challenges have been significant in recent years, and these measures are seen as a step in the right direction. As the government continues to implement its economic plans, citizens can expect to see improvements in their standard of living.
