Finance Ministry proposes measures to check post-Tet price hikeThe Ministry of Finance (MoF) has asked other ministries and localities to closely monitor the supply and demand in the market as well as prices of commodities. This is to avoid unreasonable price hike and misinformation causing market instability, according to the ministry’s report sent to the Government on market prices and measures stabilising prices before, during and after Tet (Lunar New Year) holiday. Autrorities are expected to come up with timely solutions to avoid unreasonable price hike and misinformation about demand, supply and prices of goods. The ministry has asked transport businesses to publicise transport fees in accordance with the current regulations. Transport companies, on the other hand, increased the number of buses to meet the demand of people before Tet, the ministry said.
