Government to keep close eye on cost of key products
The finance ministry said it would continue to tighten price management over key products such as electricity, coal, petrol and public services in the last months of the year to ensure market stability.
This is one of the key tasks to be taken by the ministry during the last quarter of the year, said Deputy Minister Vu Thi Mai at a press briefing held on October 2 to review the implementation of financial tasks and the State budget in the past three quarters.
Regarding the State budget, the ministry reported that budget collection in the past nine months reached VND683 trillion (US$30.3 billion), a year-on-year increase of 7%.
Of which, nearly VND51.8 trillion (US$2.3 billion) was collected from crude oil, down 34.8% year-on-year.
Collection from import and export activities reached VND123 trillion (US$5.4 billion) during the nine-month period.
During the period, the country's total State budget spending was estimated at nearly VND824 trillion (US$36.6 billion), equivalent to 72% of the estimates and posting a 7.8% year-on-year rise
