Hanoi (VNA) – In a move to avoid making life difficult for the average citizen, a scheduled price increase in ten essential commodities will be put off, according to an official from the Finance Ministry’s Price Management Department. The commodities initially slated for a price rise in June include oil and gas, electricity, coal, safe water, bus, train and plane tickets, cement, iron and steel and education and hospital fees, Department Head Nguyen Tien Thoa told Vietnam News Agency on May 9. Thoa said the Finance Ministry will have an appropriate price roadmap for each commodity after June and take a series of measures to prevent price hikes.-Enditem
