Market management officials will be on hand to provide direct guidance on recognizing the characteristics of both genuine and counterfeit high-demand products.
The CPI in August increased just 0.005 per cent over July, 3.6 per cent compared to December 2021, and 2.89 per cent year-on-year. According to the General Statistics Office, increases are due to rising prices for essential consumer goods and services. Domestic gasoline prices have, however, been cut since July.
According to the Ministry of Finance, ten out of eleven groups of main consumer goods and services saw prices increase July and this will maintain pressure on inflation control over the remainder of the year. Some factors, however, ease that pressure, such as the supply of consumer goods being abundant along with ongoing and planned fiscal policies.
