Price reduction measures designed to minimise impact on SMEs:...

Minister of Economic Development, Transport and Trade Mohamed Saeed defended the Government's price-reduction measures in response to a no-confidence motion filed by the MDP, saying they are designed to minimise impact on SMEs while easing costs for consumers. He said State Trading Organization interventions are temporary, and noted the Cabinet had designated 26 essential goods under President Mohamed Muizzu's direction, alongside a presidential decision to designate 80 goods as essential.
