There are many tools and the necessary space to control inflation below 4% this year, said Deputy Prime Minister Vuong Dinh Hue at the meeting of the Government's Steering Committee on Price Management held in Hanoi on July 10.

According to
the Deputy PM, the consumer price index (CPI) for June increased by 0.61% over
the previous month, mainly attributed to a hike in the price of pork, was not
extraordinary.
Moreover, the rise of 0.61% is within the forecast by the
Steering Committee on Price Management, the Government official noted.
He affirmed that the CPI increase in June was driven by
higher prices of pork and transport services, saying that excluding the
short-term factor of pork prices, inflation in June was only 0.27%, the lowest
level in many years.
Average CPI in the January-June period went up by 3.29%
compared to the same period last year, putting pressure on the target of
keeping the average CPI for 2018 below 4% as set by the National Assembly. It
will be a big challenge for the Government, Hue noted.
However, the Government will take all necessary measures
until the end of this year to restrict average inflation to below 4% to
contribute to macro-economic stability, he affirmed.
At the meeting, the Deputy PM also asked the Ministry of
Agriculture and Rural Development to put forth directions for the management of
pork prices in the remaining months of the year.
It is also advisable to calculate the supply and demand
of food and essential goods for the last six months of this year as about 10
typhoons are forecast to hit Vietnam
during this period.

Dao Village’s honey – a product certified with a 3-star OCOP (One Commune One Product) rating by Thong Nhat Agricultural Cooperative in Dao Village (Hoa Binh City) – is highly regarded by consumers for its quality, richness, and variety in packaging. The distinctively sweet taste of Dao Village’s honey leaves a lasting impression on anyone who has tried it.
In alignment with Project No. 07-DA/TU, issued by the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee on November 1, 2021, Lac Thuy district has actively promoted investment and supported the sustainable development of its industrial and handicraft sectors during the 2021–2025 period. Alongside this, the district has remained committed to preserving and revitalising traditional craft villages.
Located in the northern part of Lac Thuy district, with a temperate climate and fertile soil, Phu Thanh commune has great potential and advantages in growing tea. The long-standing experience, combined with strict adherence to organic farming practices in the tea gardens, ensures that the dried tea products from Phu Thanh and Lac Thuy as a whole are sold out immediately upon production, providing a stable and prosperous life for the local people.
Amid efforts to streamline the administrative apparatus, Hoa Binh province has intensified measures to address challenges in land clearance, resettlement support, and infrastructure investment, aiming to speed up the progress of key projects.
Hoa Binh province has posted an unprecedented economic growth rate of 12.76% in the first quarter of 2025, marking its highest quarterly performance to date and positioning it as the second fastest-growing locality in the country, trailing only Bac Giang province.
Under current regulations, products in the One Commune – One Product (OCOP) programme that are rated three stars or higher must undergo re-evaluation every three months. However, in reality, some of these products fail to consistently meet the required standards, raising concerns about the sustainability of their OCOP certification. This underscores the urgent need for producers to enhance product quality and gradually develop their OCOP products into strong, marketable brands.
