Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc has affirmed that there have been no grounds for revising the macroeconomic goals and that Vietnam is making efforts to realise the growth target previously set even amid numerous challenges from the Covid-19 outbreak.
PM Nguyen Xuan Phuc chairs a meeting of the
national advisory council for financial and monetary policies.
He
was speaking at a meeting of the national advisory council for financial and
monetary policies on February 25.
The head of government stated
that caution must be exercised to analyse the situation thoroughly and work out
the appropriate coping measures.
At the meeting, the PM said
he appreciated the frank, responsible and evidence-based opinions of economists
and considered them as important input materials for the government to decide
on socio-economic policies amid the impacts of the Covid-19 outbreak.
He stated that the government
is pursuing the double goals of containing the spread of the coronavirus and
promoting economic growth, adding that difficulty calls for concerted efforts
and bold reforms to move the country forward.
On that basis, the council
agreed on a number of key measures such as the need to remain consistent in the
goal of keeping low inflation, creating the foundation for sustainable
development, and boosting public investment and investors’ confidence.
It is also necessary to
continue supporting enterprises, especially those affected by the coronavirus,
while promoting sectors with potential for growth in order to cushion the
impact of the epidemic.
