Proposal for Price Regulation and Consumer Protection
Lotfi Riahi, President of the Tunisian Organization for Consumer Guidance, has proposed the introduction of differentiated prices for olive oil, ranging from 9 to 10 dinars, and 6 dinars for the medium type of this product, to benefit Tunisian consumers.
During his intervention on Wednesday, November 26, 2025, on national radio, Lotfi Riahi also called for setting a maximum profit margin ceiling, strongly denouncing the surge in prices of several products, including clothing. He criticized the use of subsidized materials by some industrialists, which are then sold at free and unregulated prices, emphasizing the need to combat these practices.
The President of the Organization also drew attention to the growing danger of digital social engineering, considered a particularly harmful form of invisible influence on individuals and societies. He called for the implementation of responsible social engineering, based on transparency and focused on reform.
Lotfi Riahi specified that most price hike crises are the result of planned social engineering, paving the way for speculation. He stressed the need to protect consumers from manipulation and announced the development of a platform aimed at improving consumer behavior and making them less vulnerable to manipulative practices.
