Economic reopening will be carried out firmly and safely, and under a roadmap that matches the country’s pandemic combat strategy, vaccination capacity and the supply of treatment drugs and medical equipment, he said.

The minister added that the program aims to help enterprises with recovery, especially their special resistance in certain sectors that are hit hard by the pandemic, improve infrastructure and encourage investment in the public-private partnership (PPP) form.

Public investment in national strategic, key infrastructure projects will be stepped up, while greater efforts will be made in reforming administrative procedures and improving the business environment.

According to the minister, there will be risk management policies in tandem with measures to stabilize the macro economy.

The program should promote the active role of enterprises in production and business, regardless of any developments of the pandemic, Dung said, emphasizing the need to maintain macro-economic stability, major economic balances and sources of income.

It is a must to ensure social security for people, particularly the poor and vulnerable groups, he said.

The economic stimulus package should be rolled out in a synchronous, effective, timely and stable fashion in the time ahead, and assistance should target the sectors that are able to recover.

The minister suggested mobilizing more international financial resources and managing risks, saying one of the challenges is how to accelerate disbursement in the next two years amid the current pending disbursement of public investment.- (VNA/VLLF)
