Speaking through the official Dubai Government Media Office channel, the minister noted a clear abundance of food and consumer products in UAE markets. He stressed the importance of moderate consumer behavior and cautioned against hoarding or purchasing quantities beyond normal needs.

He highlighted that the nation's supply and logistics systems operate with high efficiency, allowing consistent product availability at reasonable prices. Relevant authorities monitor market activity daily to ensure price stability and prevent any shortages or disruptions in supply.

Ahmed Ahli, Director of Tourism Activities Control at Dubai's Department of Economy and Tourism, added that field inspection teams continue to carry out regular monitoring campaigns across all sales outlets in the emirate. These efforts ensure adherence to set prices and guarantee product availability for consumers without shortages.

Ahli reported that inspection results indicate noticeable price stability and product availability across all retail outlets in Dubai, with supplier and retailer inventories maintaining high sufficiency levels, reinforcing the market's ability to meet demand naturally.

He added that the country's supply chains operate in an organized and effective manner, supporting regular commodity flows and local market stability, even amid potential global market fluctuations.

The ministry explained that its market monitoring system uses advanced electronic platforms to track prices and inventory levels at suppliers and retailers, with continuous data collection and periodic analysis to ensure market stability and consumer access to goods.

This system is part of broader economic policies aimed at reinforcing market stability, protecting consumers, and ensuring the continuous flow of essential commodities under various economic conditions.
