NNA – Caretaker Minister of Economy and Trade, Amin Salam, reassured citizensnbsp;that there are sufficient quantities of food supplies in the country.
He said: quot;After meeting with allnbsp;food unions, includingnbsp;supermarkets, meat, poultry, and all other unions, we received assurances about the availability of these supplies, in addition to large orders on their way to Lebanon.quot;
Salam stressed in an interview with quot;Al Jadeed TVquot; this morning that quot;there is no need for panic,quot; and warned against any quot;storagequot;nbsp;because this quot;negatively affects prices and the availability of quantities that must be distributed fairly among people.quot;
quot;The Ministry of Economy is following up on the issue of prices in all details, and we have instructed all concerned parties, unions, and companies to adhere to profit margins and respect people#39;s delicate social circumstances,quot; Salam emphasized, adding that his Ministry will be on the lookout and will issue legal prosecution reportsnbsp;against anyone who attempts to exploitnbsp;people in this difficult situation.
