Phase 4 price controls to start Monday nationwide
Secretary Frederick B. Dent announced Phase 4 anti inflation controls will replace the current 60 day price freeze starting Monday. He cited strong public demand for price limits and said the steps aim to moderate inflation without crippling supply while allowing costs to adjust. Higher prices are expected after the freeze ends, with Agriculture and Cost of Living Council forecasts noting possible impacts from exports and the cooling economy.
