Political cover
Fouad Al-Tamimi, “retired,” said in an interview with “Baghdad Al-Youm,” that “the state is weak and this is a bitter fact that no one disputes, and the evidence is many, but it is a reality imposed by the quota policy that destroyed the country and tore apart its institutions,” pointing out that “most merchants enjoy some kind of political cover.” Or another, and therefore they are almost immune from any accountability.”
He added, "As the month of Ramadan approaches, prices rise under the pretext of supply and demand, even though what is pumped into the markets is essentially stock for at least three months. However, greed drives some to raise prices to reap more profits without any fear of government accountability because some of them are above the law."

As for Haseeb Ali Taher, a “teacher,” he indicated that “he is frustrated with any call made to monitor market prices in Ramadan because it is an illusion and the merchants are the ones who win in every fight at the expense of the citizens’ pockets,” pointing out that “it is not reasonable that this is not controlled.” in prices and deterring the greed of some merchants during the holy month of Ramadan.”

Speculation and monopoly
As for Member of Parliament Mudar Al-Karawi, he pointed out “the necessity of implementing a comprehensive strategy to control prices, not only in the Holy Ramadan, but throughout the year, and seeking to formulate objective solutions that contribute to curbing the rise in prices as much as possible and preventing speculation and monopolization of materials.”
He added, "The state has many tools to control prices, and through its companies it is possible to import various materials and sell them to people at prices that cover costs, in addition to restoring central markets, cooperatives, and other outlets through which food supplies can be delivered at appropriate prices to citizens."
The Islamic world is preparing to welcome the holy month of Ramadan, at a time when Iraq is witnessing a significant rise in the prices of food and meat, burdening citizens with additional amounts.
