According to Arman Shakkaliev, on the contrary, during this period, retail chains often hold promotions and lower prices.
“Well, generally speaking, all the faithful, including many in retail chains, aim not to profit from this but, on the contrary. This is, essentially, a celebration of goodness,” the minister stated.
He also added that traditionally, during the fasting period, prices do not rise; instead, various discounts appear.
“We do not associate this period with price fluctuations at all,” emphasized the department representative.
