Jewelry stores raise gold prices beyond the official rate. - Min Hunna Nabda

Residents of Marj al-Hamam complained that several jewelry stores were charging more than the official price per gram of gold, exceeding the price set by the Jewelers and Goldsmiths Syndicate. They asserted that there were clear discrepancies between the officially announced price and the price displayed in some shops. These complaints raised questions about the oversight mechanisms and the extent to which stores adhere to the daily price list, prompting calls for stricter monitoring to protect consumers and regulate the market.
