The move came as part of efforts to prevent dealers from pushing up the prices of essential commodities improperly on the back of rising retail petrol price, which rose by VND1,430 to VND24,580 per litre from March 28.
Relevant agencies were requested to constantly monitor prices of key commodities such as food, foodstuff, medicines, milk, and gas, as well as transport services.
The agencies have to keep a close eye on price registration and declaration, reduce price hike registrations which are not directly affected by the fuel cost adjustment and monitor prices of products and services imposed by the State.
Those engaged in production with intensive consumption of petroleum and oil are also encouraged to innovate technology and apply fuel-saving solutions in a bid to raise output and lower selling prices./.
