Published 18 Apr,2021 via The Jordan Times AMMAN — President of the Amman Chamber of Commerce (ACC) Khalil Haj Tawfiq, who is also the Head of the General Association for Foodstuffs Merchants of Jordan (GAFJO), on Saturday said that the current Ramadan sales are at their lowest in 10 years, after witnessing a 50 per cent drop due to the pandemic.
In a statement carried by the Jordan News Agency, Petra, Haj Tawfiq said that the commercial sector has been “staggered” by low sales since the first days of Ramadan.
He attributed this to the partial curfew hours that exhausted merchants, and the decline in purchasing food and basic products despite existing price reductions and offers.
