National Development and Reform Commission: Make every effort to ensure the supply and price of bulk commodities, and continue to strengthen market supervision_ Securities Times Network

Securities Times Network News, on May 17, Meng Wei, a spokesman for the National Development and Reform Commission, said that we will adhere to comprehensive policies and precise control, and do our best to ensure the supply and price of bulk commodities. First, do a good job in ensuring food supply and stable prices. Stabilize the sown area and output, maintain sufficient food quantity and stable price, and ensure that the Chinese people’s rice bowl is firmly in their own hands at all times. The second is to use coal as the “anchor” to ensure energy supply and price stability. Through measures such as improving the coal production, supply, storage and sales system and strengthening the management of market expectations, the coal price will be guided to operate within a reasonable range, and the electricity price will be stabilized by stabilizing the coal price, thereby stabilizing the overall energy consumption cost. The third is to do a good job in ensuring the supply and price of mineral products. Increase domestic exploration and development of iron ore, speed up the construction of mineral product bases, and enhance domestic resource security capabilities. At the same time, strengthen import and export regulation, resolutely curb the blind development of high-energy-consuming, high-emission, and low-level projects, and promote the safe supply of important mineral products and basically stable prices. Fourth, continue to strengthen market supervision. We will work with relevant departments to strengthen the joint supervision of the futures spot market, and severely crack down on illegal activities such as fabrication and dissemination of price increase information, hoarding, and price gouging. In particular, we will resolutely crack down on malicious speculation by capital.
