Will food prices increase during Ramadan?

The Ministry of Trade does not anticipate an increase in food prices during Ramadan. On the contrary, retail chains typically run various promotions this month, including announcing price reductions, stated Minister of Trade Arman Shakkaliev.

“During these periods, our retail networks typically hold promotions, announce price reductions, and organize various events. The very fact of fasting is generally perceived as a celebration of kindness and compassion. Many believers, including those working in retail, aim not to profit from this, but rather to demonstrate generosity. During this time, they take appropriate measures and conduct campaigns aimed at lowering prices. As a result, price increases during this period come as a surprise. We do not associate fasting with any price fluctuations,” said the minister.

Previously, “Kursiv” reported that the month of Ramadan in 2025 will begin on March 1 and last until March 30. The Night of Decree — Қадір түні will occur from March 26 to 27. Eid al-Adha this year will take place from June 6 to 8.
