Issues related to price stabilization items and the Petroleum Price Stabilization Fund continue to receive attention and comments from delegates.

Delegate Pham Van Hoa ( Dong Thap delegation) acknowledged that when the market fluctuated, we used this fund to regulate and limit the excessive increase in gasoline prices.

"But it is unreasonable to hand over this fund to businesses to manage," Mr. Hoa said, and suggested handing it over to the Ministry of Finance to manage it, because the Petroleum Price Stabilization Fund comes from people's contributions, but businesses use the money for other purposes, which is "unfair."

With the current situation in Vietnam, Mr. Hoa agreed that the Petroleum Price Stabilization Fund is still needed, but the Government needs to have a roadmap for the existence of this fund.

"The Petroleum Price Stabilization Fund should not be maintained forever because it is unreasonable and unfair," delegate Pham Van Hoa emphasized.
