Currently, the portal features price information collected from Malé. The Economic Ministry stated that it will categorize prices into three sections:
- Basic food items: 93 products
- Fruits and vegetables: 38 products
- Meat items: 10 products
Among these, 32 essential items have been identified as critical for monitoring. The ministry also noted that the portal's classification system aligns with international standards to ensure transparency and consistency.
