Repeating the bitter experience of the past/mandatory pricing of goods to be offered on the stock exchange

According to Tejarat News, an observer member of the Parliament in the Supreme Council of the Stock Exchange considered the mandatory pricing of goods to be offered on the stock exchange as a repetition of the bitter experiences of the past and said that the mandatory pricing means that at one point it pressured the market to maintain the rates, but after that inflation increased a lot. It makes the situation worse.

Muslim Salehi in an interview with ISNA Referring to the policy plan for regulating the market of goods subject to the obligation to be offered in commodity exchanges, he said: This plan is on the agenda of the Industries Commission.

Now, it should have been brought up in the economic commission first, or at least the economic commission should be one of the specialized commissions reviewing this plan and there should be coordination between the two industrial and economic commissions.

This member of the Economic Commission of the Parliament reminded: Mandatory pricing is one of the bitter experiences in the Ministries of Peace and Economy, which has shown that wherever the government intervenes for pricing, the private sector suffers.

On the other hand, we believe that prices in the capital market should be determined based on supply and demand, and then with this belief, a plan for command pricing is suddenly seen. These two items are opposite and contradictory.

Salehi continued: When a product is to be priced, it depends on several items such as supply and demand, raw materials, the type of technology used, the presence of similar products in the market and competition in the market.

Therefore, it is not reasonable to want to decide on the pricing of a product produced by the private sector; This also happened in the car issue, which has caused many problems.

In the end, he clarified: This work is like a spring that is pressurized at one point of time, but if the spring is released later, it will cause swelling, which will be much more than before.
