Establishing a fund to stabilise the market
The domestic market management group has put before the Prime Minister a number of solutions to ensure the supply and demand of essential goods to stabilise Vietnam’s market, keep social security and develop the economy in August and the rest of the year.
Following these directions, the domestic market management group has suggested that the Government directs the Ministry of Finance to make the best of any unused capital to establish a fund to stabilise the market and curb inflation.
Meanwhile, all departments, associations and businesses need to work with the provincial people’s committees to calculate and check the prices of essential goods, including the cost loading at ports and freight depots.
Ministers and the chief officers of departments must be responsible before the Prime Minister for the prices of goods controlled by the ministries. Central People’s committees and in every locality must be responsible for the cost of services and establish a way of publishing prices and the state of the market at a local level.
In particular, the group has proposed that the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development keep track of salt production and the harvest. From now until the end of this year, the Ministry needs to put forward a plan to import salt to meet consumer demands without affecting domestic production and prices.
