Muscat: The Consumer Protection Authority is intensifying its market monitoring and inspection campaigns on shops and shopping centers in line with the increasing demand
during preparation for Eid al-Fitr.
These campaigns focus on monitoring shops and shopping malls, controlling prices, and ensuring that prices are posted and inspected on goods and services to avoid manipulation.
With the increasing reliance on e-commerce, CPA also monitors online accounts through a specialized team in the e-commerce department, where business behavior and practices are monitored and any violations are identified.
It also cooperates with the Ministry of Commerce, Industry, and Investment Promotion to address reports and complaints related to e-commerce sales.
CPA advised consumers to only deal with websites and online accounts licensed by the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion, and to ensure the reliability of offers and products before purchasing.
