Phuc and Deputy Prime Minister Vuong Dinh Hue held an exclusive meeting with key relevant government ministries and agencies to discuss the country’s macro-economic performance in the first five months.
“[We are] determined to achieve the socio-economic targets set earlier,” Phuc said and asked ministries and agencies to establish their specific action plans, "not just talk."
Last April, PM Phuc set the target for GDP to grow 6.7 percent this year. However, Vietnam’s GDP growth in the first quarter of 2016 was registered at 5.46 percent, according to the General Statistics Office, while a government economic institute forecast Vietnam’s GDP growth for Q2/2016 to reach 6.17 percent in Q2.
Phuc emphasized on the mobilization of both internal and external
resources for economic growth with main focus being given to
disbursement of capital into basic infrastructure projects. Capital from
official development assistance (ODA), government bonds and other
sources in the national budget must be disbursed effectively into needed
projects, he said, asking the relevant ministries and agencies to form a
working group to address disbursement issues.
Equitization or selling government shares in state-owned enterprises
must be boosted to have resources for economic growth, the Prime
Minister said.
“In gross domestic product (GDP) growth, attention should also be paid
to quality, not only to quantity. [We have to] care about people in
remote areas as well as those affected by natural disasters, flood and
drought,” Phuc said, adding that improving people’s belief, through
media, is crucial in realizing the set targets.
Deputy Prime Minister Hue also said Monday the government will make every effort to keep inflation for the whole year at below five percent.
