Carrefour to fix prices of 50 items during 2008

Carrefour, which has three outlets in Doha, is the first retail chain in Qatar that has committed to providing basic amenities at controlled prices for a whole year.

The price of food has been the biggest casualty of global inflation. Yet, Carrefour has vowed to not change the prices of the items listed below, irrespective of rise in costs from any of its suppliers or other third parties.

Carrefour's products satisfy the needs of families at different income levels by being available at rock-bottom prices. It adheres to some of the best international programs to ensure hygiene in all of its fresh product laboratories and suppliers.

At the same time, Carrefour will also continue to be the lowest priced retailer in the weekly list of 46 Fast Moving Consumer Goods published by the Ministry of Economy and Commerce on their website. The list is comparison of costs of 31 food items and 15 other items among existing retail outlets in Doha.

Carrefour's decision to fix prices emphasises its brand promise to provide value for money and the priority it places on its customers.
