He creates a new government body called the Ministry of Planning which will set wages, prices and production targets to reach each month.

Explanation:

A command economy is one where all factors of production is controlled by the government, and decisions on what to produce, how to produce, and for whom to produce are answered by the government.

The dictator's first act in establishing a command economy will be to set up a ministry that will make economic decisions on wages, price and production.
