Gov’t resolves to rein in inflationary factors
VGP – To cope with the post-Tết price escalation, the PM ordered ministries, sectors and local authorities to promptly take some measures to curb inflationary elements.
The Ministry of Industry
and Trade (MIT), Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, and the
Ministry of Construction must balance, within March, the demands and supplies
of primary consumer goods, such as rice, gas and oil, fertilizers, cement and
steel. They must intervene into the market or propose necessary solutions to
prevent the lack of goods and unexpected price hikes.
