The Prime Minister said it is necessary to work out feasible solutions for realising the 5.8% growth target for this year, ensuring macro-economic stability, containing inflation, increasing the economy’s aggregate demand and credit growth, and reducing non-performing loans. He asked for specific measures to ease business difficulties, especially those related to tax, customs and land procedures.
The Prime Minister reminded relevant ministries and agencies to ensure safety for more than 1,500 Vietnamese workers in Libya in the context of growing concern about escalating conflicts there.   Cabinet members have commented on a number of bills, including those on special consumption tax, occupational safety and health; natural resources, sea and islands; and military service.
