The head of the Economic Commission of the Parliament stated: It has been decided that by the end of June next year, all essential goods needed by the people will be subject to the supervisory structure of the Ministry of Industry, Mine, and Trade in the Comprehensive Trade System, focusing on the inclusion of the producer’s price.
According to a report by Mehr News Agency, quoting the House of Representatives, Mohammad Reza Pourabrahimi explained the joint meeting of the Economic Commission with the Minister of Industry and his deputies, saying that the purpose of this meeting was to review the latest status and actions of the internal trade sector of the Ministry of Industry, Mine, and Trade regarding the regulation of market goods.
He stated that according to the law, part of the market management pertains to the Ministry of Jihad Agriculture, adding that the discussion on regulations and standards related to essential goods and the actions of the Ministry of Industry in this area were among the issues reviewed in today’s meeting.
The head of the Economic Commission of the Parliament considered the Ministry of Industry’s actions in placing the producer’s price on goods as another topic discussed in today’s meeting, adding that according to the report presented, the producer’s price has been included for some goods so far. However, members of the Economic Commission believed that this should cover all essential and non-essential goods.
Pourabrahimi continued: It has been decided that by the end of June next year, all essential and non-essential goods needed by the people will benefit from the supervisory structure of the Ministry of Industry in the Comprehensive Trade System with a focus on the inclusion of the producer’s price.
Referring to the review of the country’s export capacities in today’s Economic Commission meeting, he emphasized that conditions must be created to meet the country’s currency needs. According to the reports presented, the country’s export performance in the second half of this year has grown by more than 30% compared to last year, indicating positive developments in accessing foreign currency resources to supply the necessary essential and intermediary goods.
The head of the Economic Commission of the Parliament stated that the commodity exchange was also one of the topics raised in today’s meeting and referred to the concerns of the commission members, adding: The government’s plan for market regulation has begun, but it is not complete and needs to be finalized. Part of this issue is being concluded through collaboration between the commission and the government, and the executive sections will be implemented by the end of June in one phase and by the end of summer in the next phase.
He added: Monitoring the market, preventing the infringement of people’s rights, and curbing overpricing must be pursued, and methods that cause harm to people in the area of price regulation must be contained.
