It is necessary to continue implementing the provisions of the 2023 Price Law, Decree No. 85/2024/ND-CP dated July 10, 2024 of the Government and related Circulars, including Circular No.29/2024/TT-BTC and Circular No.45/2024/TT-BTC on market price forecasting and pricing methods for goods and services priced by the State.
Authorities need to strengthen management, operation, price stabilisation, inspection and supervision of price declaration and listing, and strictly handle acts of taking advantage of unreasonable price increases, while controlling smuggling, trade fraud and counterfeit goods.
For goods and services whose prices are set by the State, departments and branches must proactively calculate plans and roadmaps for price adjustment, promptly adjust according to their authority or report to competent authorities.
Adjustment plans must ensure inflation control and be consistent with market developments; at the same time, it is necessary to update price management scenarios, ensure supply and demand balance, avoid shortages, disruptions in goods sources, and sudden price increases.
The Hanoi People’s Committee also requested to strengthen information and communication work on price stabilisation measures, provide accurate information on the price situation of goods; in addition, strictly handle acts of spreading false information, causing public confusion and closely monitor price declaration and posting according to the provisions of law.
