[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hapcheon-gun, Gyeongnam held the '2021 Chuseok Holiday Local Price Countermeasure Committee' at the Chogye-myeon Office on the 15th to prepare for the Chuseok holiday.

This committee was held with the participation of about 20 people including related organizations, groups, and traditional market officials to establish measures for economic recovery and price stabilization amid the stagnation caused by the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

At the meeting, concerns about sharp price increases in some items ahead of the Chuseok holiday due to COVID-19, heatwaves, and typhoons were discussed, and price stabilization measures by sector were deliberated, along with in-depth discussions on holiday prices and the stabilization of ordinary citizens' livelihoods.

The county designated the period until the 22nd as the 'Special Price Stabilization Period for the Chuseok Holiday' and will focus on monitoring the price trends of 16 agricultural, livestock, and aquatic products, entering continuous price management.

After the meeting, attendees moved to Chogye Market to gauge the public sentiment of traditional market merchants and residents exhausted by COVID-19 and urged adherence to 'social distancing.'

County Governor Moon Jun-hee said, "Prices are fluctuating due to various adverse factors such as COVID-19 and heatwaves," and added, "Price stabilization is very important for stabilizing the ordinary economy, so we will work together with related organizations to respond to price stabilization."
