Strengthening market management and development

(Baonghean) - Official dispatch No. 1975/UBND-CNTM dated April 7, 2015 of the Provincial People's Committee

In the past time, implementing Decree No. 02/2003/ND-CP dated January 14, 2003 of the Government on market development and management, Decree No. 114/2009/ND-CP dated December 23, 2009 of the Government on amending and supplementing a number of articles of Decree No. 02/2003/ND-CP dated January 14, 2003 of the Government on market development and management, market development and management in Nghe An province has achieved many positive results.

Up to now, there are 405 operating markets in the province, 267 of which are classified, including 7 class 1 markets, 19 class 2 markets and 241 class 3 markets. The total number of business households in the markets is more than 61,000, of which the number of regular business households is more than 33,000 and the number of irregular business households is more than 27,000. The operation of the market system in the area has promoted the circulation of goods, linked trade between regions, increased revenue for the budget, created many jobs and improved people's lives, contributing significantly to promoting socio-economic development; Market management and development have received attention, since 2003, 170 markets have been invested in construction, upgrading and renovation with a total capital of up to 166.3 billion VND, and the management model of 7 markets has been converted....

However, in reality, market management and development activities in the area still have many shortcomings and limitations; the situation of holding illegal markets, encroaching on sidewalks and roads, causing traffic jams, environmental pollution, and public disorder still occurs in some places; the facilities of many markets have degraded and have not been invested in upgrading and renovating in time; the work of ensuring requirements on fire prevention and fighting, environmental sanitation, and food hygiene and safety has not received due attention; the activities of some market management boards are still arbitrary, financial collection and expenditure are unclear and lack transparency, causing resentment among the people; some markets have been invested in construction but exploited ineffectively such as Tan Long and Tan An markets (Tan Ky district), Ro market (Thanh Chuong district), etc.;

To promptly overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings and limitations, to improve the operational efficiency of the market system in the area, to ensure the standards of market classes according to regulations, the People's Committee of Nghe An province requires directors of departments, heads of relevant sectors and units and chairmen of people's committees of districts, cities and towns in the province to focus on performing well the assigned tasks, including:

Department of Industry and Trade: Responsible for regularly monitoring the situation of market management and development in the province; preside over and coordinate with relevant departments and branches to manage, inspect and urge the implementation of market system development planning and implementation of regulations on market management and development in the province. Direct the Market Management Department to guide and inspect the implementation of regulations on product quality, price posting and selling at the correct listed price; regularly control and prevent the production and trading of fraudulent goods, counterfeit goods, and goods that do not ensure food safety and hygiene.
