It is hoped that the state will learn about the changes in coal production and circulation costs in a timely manner through cost investigations, and take comprehensive measures. Guide coal prices to operate within a reasonable range.

  In the next step, the National Development and Reform Commission will further listen to opinions and suggestions from all parties and establish a coal production and circulation cost investigation system as soon as possible to provide support for further improving the coal market price formation mechanism.
