Description
Announced that the State Logistics Agency (Bulog) would distribute three additional monthly rations of rice under the public subsidized distribution scheme (Raskin) in 2013. The measure is geared at compensating vulnerable groups for the 22-44 percent rise in prices of subsidized fuel, which came into effect in June.
