PHILIPSBURG:--- Minister of Tourism, Economic Affairs, Traffic and Telecommunications, the Honorable Leo Lambriex, is reassuring the public that the Inspectorate of TEATT is out in full force checking prices against the recently published Hurricane maximum price list and updated price list for the Basket of Goods.
Both lists were approved and published earlier today by the Minister of TEATT, given the possibility of suppliers increasing prices, as a result of increased demand due to storm preparations.
The list regulates the maximum permitted prices of 72 items, as listed in the Basket of Goods as well as Disaster items, such as water, batteries, building materials, and first aid supplies.
Both lists can be found on www.maxpricesxm.com or using the links below.
Persons within the community who have noticed irregularities with the pricing in stores are urged to first bring it to the attention of management before reporting the violation via WhatsApp at +1-721-559-6233 or via the website www.maxpricesxm.com.
Minister Lambriex would like to thank the Ministry, and in particular the department of ETT, for preparing the maximum price regulations as well as the Inspection Team of ETT for the swift and thorough enforcement.
The Minister thanks all persons within the Ministry involved in storm preparations for their continued dedication and support to the Country and the people of Sint Maarten.
