1996年，在“抑制通货膨胀，控制物价上涨”的宏观经济政策作用下，山西省生产、流通、消费领域价格上涨的势头均得到有效遏制。全省工业品价格虽继续呈现上涨趋势，但涨幅均较上年有较大幅度的回落。与上年相比，1996年全省工业企业原材料、能源购进价格上涨4．8％，较上年涨? In 1996, under the macroeconomic policy of “curbing inflation and controlling rising prices”, the upward trend in prices in the fields of production, circulation and consumption in Shanxi Province has been effectively checked. Although the prices of industrial products in the whole province continued to show a rising trend, the increases in the prices of industrial products in the whole province all dropped sharply from the previous year. Compared with the previous year, the prices of raw materials and energy purchased by industrial enterprises in the province rose 4.8% in 1996, up from the previous year.
