Socio-economic performance, State budget under NA scrutiny
VOV.VN - The 15th National Assembly (NA) reviewed the socio-economic performance and State budget for 2023 and the first months of 2024, as part of the ongoing seventh session in Hanoi on May 29 under the chair of NA Chairman Tran Thanh Man.
NA Vice Chairman Nguyen Duc Hai requested that lawmakers analyse reports from the Government and NA bodies, with a particular focus on measures aimed at ensuring macro-economic stability and key economic balances.
These measures include controlling inflation, exchange rates, and the prices of essential goods in order to ensure stable livelihoods for citizens and smooth business operation. Indeed, achieving the annual growth target remains a significant objective.
He further underlined the need for solutions aimed at improving the monetary, real estate, and securities markets.
Additionally, discussions are focused on reviving production and business activities, creating jobs, reducing unemployment, addressing bottlenecks hindering labour productivity, and restructuring credit institutions which are burdened by bad debts.
Equitisation and divestment of State capital from enterprises, along with reduced lending rates, have also been identified as crucial steps to enhance the economy's capacity to absorb capital.
Concerning the national targets for gender equality, as well as efforts to promote thrift and combat wastefulness in 2023, NA Vice Chairman Hai requested assessments of achievements, shortcomings, root causes, and solutions.
Ministers and sectoral heads will therefore attempt to deal with the concerns raised by NA deputies.
