Macro-economic stability needed for sustainable
development: PM
The Government’s point of view
in steering socio-economic affairs is to persistently pursue the goal of
macro-economic stability to create foundations for sustainable development
while synchronously implementing measures to boost growth, said Prime Minister
Nguyen Xuan Phuc.
Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc chairs the Government's May meeting.
Addressing the Government’s regular meeting on June 2,
the PM confirmed that “the Government takes the political responsibility for
fulfilling 2016’s socio-economic development targets before the Party, State
and people”.
To achieve the goals, the Government leader asked the
administration from the central to local levels to make more efforts to serve
the nation’s development.
A report presented by Minister of Planning and
Investment Nguyen Chi Dung showed that thanks to timely guidelines from the
Government, the national economy recorded satisfactory signals, especially
for the monetary index with an increase of 4.52 percent year-on-year.
Total foreign direct investment (FDI) disbursed in the
country in the period hit 5.8 billion USD, an annual rise of 17.2 percent,
while the total FDI registered was estimated to reach 10.6 billion USD,
nearly 2.4 times higher than that reported in the same period last year.
Around 44,740 new enterprises were established in the
reviewed period, a year-on-year increase of 24.1 percent.
The macroeconomy has been basically stablised and the
inflation rate was curbed, the report said.
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) and inflation index in
the period increased 1.59 percent and 1.78 percent respectively, compared to
the same period last year.
Regarding socio-economic measures, the PM requested
Cabinet members to closely control prices and not to be subjective in curbing
inflation. Ministries should coordinate effectively in managing prices as
well as implementing fiscal and monetary policies.
He also asked for more efforts to mobilise resources
from the public to serve development goals, improve the business and
investment environment and speed up administrative reform.
The leader asked ministries, sectors, economic groups
and localities to design detailed plans to speed up equitisation of
State-owned enterprises and divestment from non-core business and report the
plans back to him in June.
He also ordered the stepping up of disbursement of
State budget-sourced and ODA capital to enable investors to execute their
projects.
The PM required the State Bank of Vietnam to build a
plan to cut the lending interest rate as part of efforts to support local
production and business operation.
Reiterating the importance of the startup movement in
young people, PM Phuc assigned the Ministry of Science and Technology, the
Ministry of Education and Training, the Ministry of Finance, and the Ministry
of Planning and Investment and other functional agencies to build complete
mechanisms and policies on startups and submit them to the Government in
July.
Regarding farming production, he asked for the building
and deployment of a comprehensive agriculture restructuring programme while
highlighting “the new-style rural area construction programme as a new
revolution in Vietnam” that needs various resources to succeed.
On social security, PM Phuc stressed the need to
promptly provide assistance for residents in areas hit by natural disasters,
droughts and saltwater intrusion, implement social housing programmes
efficiently, prevent injuries and accidents for children, and reduce the
unemployment rate, among others.
He ordered relevant agencies to strictly monitor
sources that caused environmental pollution, calling on them to be proactive
in protecting the ecosystem and stringently punish individuals and
organisations violating environmental protection.
The Government leader showed his worries about wasteful
public spending, demanding the Ministry of Finance screen the management and
use of public assets, especially in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, and
resolutely cut unnecessary expenditures, in particular those paid for
meetings and overseas trips.
He asked for the effective settlement of petitions and
denunciations and strict punishments for those committing actions against
on-duty officers and sparking social disorder.
The Government’s May meeting was held on June 1-2. It
focused on institution building on June 1.
