The total of 72 price items surveyed through the activities of the price monitoring personnel (28 agricultural, livestock, and fishery products, 44 personal service fees) will be posted monthly on the Muan-gun website to provide important price information.

Lee Hye-hyang, Director of the Regional Economy Division, said, “Although the recent price increase trend is slowing down, prices are expected to remain relatively high until the first half of this year. The county will do its best to manage prices, including stabilizing public utility fees, to contribute to local price stability.”
