The Ministry of Economy announced that around 600 supermarkets in the UAE will be offering discounts of up to 50 per cent for more than 10,000 products during the Holy Month of Ramadan.
Dr Hashim Al Nuaimi, Director of Consumer Protection at the Ministry, said a slew of cooperatives and supermarkets in the UAE will offer discounts ranging from 25 to 50 per cent, reported Gulf News.
The Ministry of Economy also met with suppliers and traders to ensure the sale will be implemented smoothly.
Moreover, an open basket campaign at Union Coop is also being relaunched this year with baskets of 10 to 20 items sold at Dh100 and Dh200 respectively.
Demand for goods during Ramadan season is usually higher than demand recorded during other periods throughout the year.
This year, Ramadan will start on May 17.
