At the briefing, Quoc said that PM Khai had required measures to stabilize prices of the goods at a regular government meeting in May. Currently, the top government official requested that they [related ministries and agencies] observe market price changes, as well as forecast the fluctuations of prices in order to keep the CPI under control.
Before prices of key commodities are adjusted, they [ministries and agencies] have to research and build appropriate roadmaps in order not to affect production costs and the prices of related commodities.
However, in the long run Vietnam should formulate long-term strategies before great pressure is exerted on the local market by global goods prices, then step by step adjust to the world market.
