UAE authorities, businesses strive to keep prices of commodities in check amid conflict

DUBAI: (Mar 20) Authorities and businesses in the UAE and across the Gulf region are working overtime to ensure supplies of essential goods amid an unprecedented spell of conflict and uncertainty following the joint US-Israeli attack on Iran on February 28.

While calm has prevailed on the ground and no instances of hoarding have been reported, concerns remain about tightening supplies, leading to a marginal price rise.
