Vietnam PM Urges to Regularly Control Goods Prices

Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung has sent a dispatch to provinces and cities, asking to regularly inspect and control the selling prices of goods in order to prevent speculation.

 

Provinces and cities have to boost market management activities to ensure goods to be sold at the right quoted prices and to avoid hoarding, speculation and smuggling of goods, especially essential commodities such as food, oil and gas, steel, cement, fertilizer and medicines.

 

Violations will be heavily punished.

 

The PM also urged ministries and agencies, businesses and localities to boost production to ensure the supply of goods to meeting consumption demand of people.

 

The state economic groups and corporations must focus on production to enrich supply of commodities in domestic market, while obeying regulations on price management, helping the Government to stabilize market.

 

Recently, prices of many commodities have kept surging, which is partially attributed to speculation. (Chinhphu.vn)
