On this basis, the paper conducts a comparison of overall price plan/macro-control objectives and actual implementation results. Based on an in-depth dissection of the deviations between plan objectives and actual results, this article offers specific policy recommendations on how to improve and strengthen macro-control over overall price movement.展开更多
