Representatives of ministries and sectors highlighted measures to achieve the GDP growth target for 2023 at the Government’s regular press briefing on April 3.

Many businesses say state officials are not enthusiastic in solving enterprises’ problems and don’t even take applications to at least discover the enterprises’ problems.

A key measure to effective public investment disbursement is to promote investment with focuses, with priority given to regional linkage projects to create new socio-economic development spaces for localities, said Minister-Chairman of the Government Office Tran Van Son at a regular Cabinet press conference on March 3.

VOV.VN - Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh on February 24 requested that the health sector work to completely tackle the shortage of drugs, equipment, supplies, and biological products – a thorny issue that has hampered the normal operation of hospitals for years.

VOV.VN - The Government views public investment as both a resource and a driving force behind national development, says Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh.

VOV.VN - Accelerating the disbursement of public investment can be considered one of the key political tasks of the Government this year following slow progress made in the work last year.

Although the economy was forecast to continue facing difficulties and challenges in 2023, there were silver linings to pin hope on, experts said.

The Government has disbursed more than VND910 billion (US$38.5 million) for the implementation of the Cat Linh–Ha Dong urban railway project.

The disbursed public investment sourced from foreign borrowing was estimated at more than VND9 trillion in the first 11 months of the year, equivalent to only 26% of the plan, said an official from the Ministry of Finance.

Given the little room left for monetary policy to add stimulus to the economy, fiscal policy would be the engine of growth next year, according to Ho Sy Hung, vice chairman of the Commission for the Management of State Capital at Enterprises.
