Deputy PM identifies challenges in price management

Deputy Prime Minister Le Minh Khai chaired a meeting on October 13 with the Price Management Steering Committee to evaluate results in the first nine months of this year and the first half of October and to establish priorities in the months to come. Factors affecting price management, he said, include some tax support policies expiring at the end of the year, the speed of public investment disbursement increasing, demand for consumer goods, especially in food and consumer goods, rising sharply as Tet approaches, and the lingering impact of natural disasters and the pandemic.
