Price inflation

qatar chamber of comerce need not to ignore the expat living in this country while hiking up the prices over food and shelter...

Investment in stock market would be a good idea to win over inflation than just complaining about it to our host.

The Qatar statistics authority, according to the article.

tcom, where is al wataniya mall??

Have a look at marks and Spencer labels....some of them still have the UK price of 50 pounds sterling which equates to approx 250QAR but there is then a sticker over the top charging 495QAR.....I am all for making a profit but that is a bit extreme.

The worst at M&S is the mark-up on food.

britexpat--Although I am lazy and grossly under qualified and overpaid, the Asian they hired to do all my work for me is really suffering. I am worried he might run away.

I have sometimes wondered about the costs.

2ltr milk in Saudi - 7 SR
2ltr milk in Qatar - 12.5 QR

Even taking into account transportation costs, it seems a bit excessive.

Eh, its imported....just packaged here. There is no need for the price to be so different.

I thought, brit talked about Qatari milk, like Chadeer. Keeping cows in Qatar is more expensive than in the KSA. The food is imported. I wasn't talking about Saudi milk being sold in Qatar. But, maintaining the cooling chain doesn't come for free.

wathan mall is a family mall....underpaid workers have to visit FFC,lulu,quality,safari or meera where onions r price Qr2.00 and upwards

Thing is, IF the quality of food available here was as high as the price it is sold for, I would not mind so much.
Unfortunately this is far from being the case.
Even those herbs and greens that are grown here are of atrocious quality.

beer & rent are my main indicators, and based on current trends i'll have to give up housing soon.

only if you're offering brit.

...I am packed and ready to get there and then all these posts about inflation.. but i am leaving singapore where our rains have been replaced by inflation so i am less worried, but worried none-the-less give the size of my family

Having moved recently from Dubai to Doha, I was surprised to note the price difference in a number of products. About milk, as an exmaple, the Al Marai Full Fat which is made in Saudi Arabia costs SAR 7.5 in KSA, AED 10 in UAE and QAR 11 in Qatar. If you buy from a corner store, it will be QAR 12.

In the overall scheme of things, it means nothing to my monthly budget but I cannot understand why products are more expensive here. From essentials to luxuries, there is a minimum price difference of 7-8% from other gulf countries. The GCC countries have a common customs union so it is not like goods entering into Qatar have to pay duty different from other gulf countries. There may be aditional transport cost but that does not justify such a big price difference.

Only thing that I can think of is that businesses here want higher margins. I would like to see a not-for- profit co-operative store in Doha (not sure if there already are some) selling products at lower prices. People may never shop there but atleast they wont complain.

I paid 12.50 at Ezdan. Actually it was 13;00 because the silly woman didn't have change. :o(

Brit, I think you can report them to the consumer affairs dept.

Molten – Investing in good stock market needs big money. The useless loss making companies share values are also very high. It is all manipulation now days and instead of multiplication, division takes place.

For milk 2 liters it is 11 riyals. If anyone charges more, you can call consumer dept.

Maybe it's a strategy for people to go on a diet especially the locals where it seems like 80% are overweight based on local statistics. Just my 5cents on this LOL
