Aziz Adam Mustafah, a resident of Khuzam area said it is high time the prices of goods and services stabilised in the emirate.

“Retailers and small business service-providers have been hiking prices quite frequently. Since there has been no price regulation for many products and services, very often one would be surprised to find the prices of products increased. If prices are printed and displayed on products it will benefit the consumer,” said Mustafah.

Hamad Al Shamsi, DED’s Deputy Director, said the new system was aimed at checking unjustified increase in prices of products and services in the emirate.
