HÀ NỘI — Experts expect that purchasing power during the Lunar New Year 2024 holidays may increase by over 10 per cent compared to the same period last year.
The supply of essential goods has been also proactively prepared by businesses very early, with the amount of inventory increasing by 10 – 25 per cent over the same period.
Implementing the instruction of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, up to now, many localities such as Hà Nội, HCM City, Đồng Nai, and Ninh Thuận, have issued plans to implement its market stabilisation programmes in the last months of this year and during the year-end and the Lunar New Year (Tết) holidays, which assigns tasks to businesses producing and distributing goods to proactively prepare sources of goods to serve the consumption needs of people in the province, organising fixed and mobile sales points combined with the programme to bring Vietnamese goods to the countryside and the market stabilisation programme to bring goods to all people at stable prices.
To stimulate domestic consumption, many businesses have plans to deploy promotion programmes and discounts on many essential consumer products, especially in the months leading up to Tết.
The Departments of Industry and Trade in localities such as Hà Nội and HCM City have also worked with many businesses and units to implement market stabilising and promotion programmes, connect supply and demand, especially regional linkage programmes, and coordinate with other provinces and cities to create a stable source of goods in quantity, ensuring the best quality to serve the city’s great needs.
