Following the epidemic, the cost of living doubles

  • 04/12/2021


kuwait : Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in Kuwait, the cost of living has more than doubled. Prices of goods and food products, such as vegetables, fruits, meat, and fish, as well as other consumer goods such as cleaning materials, cookware, clothing, footwear, medicines, stationery, school materials, and others, have increased two-fold, according to a survey of retail outlets in the country. This comes on top of substantial price rises in numerous white goods, such as televisions, laptops, and other household equipment, as well as other routine family expenses.


Many individuals are complaining about the price increase on social media sites, claiming that it is unjustified and that shops are exploiting the COVID-19 situation as an excuse to gouge customers. Anger about the relaxed attitude is also common on social media.
