From 1 October 2026, traders in Moroni operating in markets, on pavements or in authorised public squares will have to present an identification card issued by the municipality and wear an identification vest. The measure was announced by Moroni town hall in a statement dated 24 September.
Traders who received authorisation during the past two years will receive their vest free of charge, while new traders will have to pay for it and regularise their situation. The municipality says the scheme is intended to regularise commercial activities, organise the use of public space and ensure compliance with municipal rules.
