The Ministry of Industry, Mine and Trade of the Islamic Republic of Iran has published a list of 55 items subject to hoarding. This list includes a wide range of goods such as diapers, baby formula, and medicine, which directly impact the daily lives of people.
Details of Items Subject to Hoarding
This list mentions essential goods such as wheat, flour, oil, meat, chicken, rice, legumes, dairy products, medical equipment, cars, tires, spare parts, mobile phones, home appliances, petrochemical products, and construction materials. Notably, the inclusion of essential household items like diapers and baby formula in this list comes at a time when concerns about the supply and access to necessary goods are increasing day by day.
Economic and Social Consequences
This announcement, based on the laws of government penalties and the guild system, reflects the government's determination to combat the hoarding of essential goods. Concurrently with the intensification of the currency crisis and increasing economic pressures, the head of the Economic Security Police of Greater Tehran has also reported on the intensified fight against the hoarding of essential goods. These actions come at a time when rising prices and shortages of goods have caused severe concern among families.
In this context, the Ministry of Industry, Mine and Trade has increased its oversight to control the market and prevent the hoarding of these items, and it seems that this list is one of the initial steps towards revising the country's economic and trade policies. Additionally, these measures can be seen as a positive step towards creating stability in the market for essential goods.
