“Prices are our major area of focus. Internal supervision over them will be supplemented by monitoring by the State Control Committee and trade unions. We will enhance our focus on this matter in the near future,” the president said.
“In this wild market havoc, we must find our way to curb prices. Today we are paying serious attention to price control. I have recently signed a relevant decree. An unjustified rise in prices, especially for staple goods, is unacceptable. This remains my tough requirement. No one should overpay for someone else’s mismanagement,” the head of state emphasized.
