Enterprises in Hà Nội will be given interest-free advances to reserving
nine categories of primary goods of which the prices need to be stabilized for
ten months.
In return, they will have to offer 10%-lower prices in case of price escalation
and make proper price adjustments to cope with market fluctuations.
The nine essential goods are rice, poultry, beef, eggs, processed food,
frozen seafood, cooking oil, sugar and vegetables.
The price-subsidized reserve of goods is expected to cover 15% of the
total consumption of the capital city.
It is
reported that this is the second time the local authorities made such a decision.
On the threshold of this Lunar New Year Festival, Hà Nội funded VND 250 billion
in interest-free loans for its traders in an attempt to stabilize prices of
essential goods.
