AMMAN — Head of the
Consumer Protection Association Mohammad Obeidat disapproved statements made by
the Minister of Industry and Trade, Youssef Al-Shamali about not raising bread
prices, noting that the government earns 50 fils per kilo at the current market
rates, after calculating the cost, according to Jo24.

Obeidat said that the government’s statements were not
justified, as there have been no new imported quantities of wheat since the
start of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. He
added that any rise in bread prices would not be justified due to the
availability of wheat stockpiles that are sufficient for 14 months, according
to official statements.
Shamali had earlier made press statements that the government will not
raise bread prices despite the rise in wheat prices globally.
