City to monitor consumer prices

The HCM City Department of Industry and Trade last Friday said it will soon inspect companies taking part in the price-stabilisation programme to ensure the origin and safety of their products.

From August 10 to 27 its inspectors will go to factories, depots, and shops to monitor the 11 items whose prices will be kept at 10 per cent below market rates.

They include eight essential goods – rice, sugar, cooking oil, red meat, poultry, eggs, fruits, vegetables, and processed foods – in addition to notebooks, school bags, and uniforms.

Totally, 14 companies have signed up for the programme and they get loans on easy terms from the city.
