The Government would prioritize inflation control, macroeconomic stabilization, economic growth maintenance and social welfare assurance, said Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung on March 25 at the cabinet’s monthly regular meeting.
He emphasized eight major solutions to ensure stability and development, first of which is to implement strict, active and flexible monetary policies.
Other solutions include raising the use efficiency of state budget capital, reviewing investment projects in order to cancel inefficient ones, ensuring the demand-supply balance for important materials and essential goods, and strictly controlling market prices to prevent speculation.
The Prime Minister also pointed to the necessity to promote export, reduce trade deficit, ensure stable investment, production and business activities and step up agricultural production.
He instructed ministries and branches to apply support policies towards the poor, farmers, ethnic minority people, people in mountainous and difficulty- and disaster-hit areas.
Branches and enterprises of all economic sectors should properly implement anti-inflation policies and solutions, practice thrift and combat waste and speculation, while mass media agencies supply accurate information on the nation’s potential and advantages for sustainable socio-economic development.-
