Doha, Qatar: The Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MoCI) has launched the Discounted Goods Initiative, offering reduced prices on more than 1,000 products across major retail outlets nationwide. The initiative will continue until the end of the holy month of Ramadan.

The move reflects the ministry’s efforts to ease the cost of living for citizens and residents. By introducing the programme earlier than in previous years, MoCI aims to ensure shoppers can benefit from discounts well ahead of Ramadan.

The initiative covers a wide range of essential items, including food staples such as rice, flour, sugar, pasta, chicken, oil and milk, along with non-food necessities like tissues, cleaning products, detergents and aluminium foil.

Consumers can identify discounted items through the initiative’s label displayed on store shelves. The ministry said it will closely monitor retailers for compliance and urged the public to report any pricing violations through official channels.
