Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung held a regular working session in Hanoi
on January 25 with experts to review the country’s socio-economic performance
and seek measures to execute this year’s goals.
Dung stressed the need to
promptly perfect policies, improve coordination among ministries and
departments, curb rising prices and deal with slow credit growth and the high
number of enterprises going out of business in January.
The Government will continue to
instruct relevant agencies to lower lending rates and remove production and
trade obstacles, focusing on bad debts and inventories and stepping up the
restructuring of the banking system and State-owned enterprises, he said.
The PM also asked experts to
propose effective solutions to the Government for socio-economic development.
The Ministry of Planning and
Investment reported that the country experienced more positive socio-economic
changes in January. Industrial production went up 21.1 percent year on year,
exports and foreign investment rose by 43.2 percent and 5 percent,
respectively. Nearly 19,000 tonnes of rice was donated to underprivileged
people on the occasion of the traditional lunar New Year (Tet) holiday, and
130,000 jobs were created.
Experts said challenges remain,
suggesting that ministries and departments need to effectively implement key
measures of the National Assembly and Government’s Resolutions, as well as the
Prime Minister’s directions.
They asked the Government to take
drastic and long-term measures to settle bad debt, restructure State-owned
enterprises, generate jobs for workers and promote the expansion of export
markets.
In the future, it is necessary to
stabilise market prices, guarantee the supply of goods during Tet, monitor food
hygiene, combat smuggling, implement social welfare policies, ensure social
safety and order as well as road safety, they said.
