Markets witness skyrocketing prices of foodstuffs [Archives:2006/915/Local News]

SANA'A, Jan. 25 – The prices of foodstuffs skyrocketed suddenly over the past few days, particularly sugar the price of which rose from 3,800 to 6,000 Yemeni Riyals per sack. The price of yogurt climbed from 25 to 40 Yemeni Riyals and beans from 50 to 65 Riyals per can while the price of Danish Cheese grew from 5,000 to 7,500 Yemeni Riyals per tin.

The prohibitive prices of foodstuffs and other commodities indicate the Yemeni government has carried out unannounced reform dose, having its negative impacts on the tragic living of suffering Yemenis.

The concerned governmental bodies have never taken any procedures or measures against traders who seize the opportunity of the seemingly chaotic situation to monopolize goods and sell them with prices they want.
