The HCM City consumer market has been stable, with no shortages or resultant unexpected price surges during the Reunification Day and May Day holidays (April 27 to May 1), according to the city Department of Industry and Trade.
Supermarkets in HCM City have worked with suppliers to ensure there is sufficient supply of goods at steady prices for the next two to three months, diminishing public fear of shortages.
Many supermarkets are launching attractive promotion programmes in the days ahead of Tet (Lunar New Year) to attract customers. Tet falls on February 16 this year.
