At an online meeting with the municipal leaders, Prime Minister  Phuc said: “Ho Chi Minh city reported that its growth rate in the first quarter was only 0.42% higher than in the same period last year. But according to the latest data of the General Statistics Office, the city grew 1.03%. So Vietnam’s economy in the first quarter might grow higher than the 3.82% rate reported earlier. This is good news for the national economy as the world is facing challenges.”  

The Prime Minister urged the city to bounce back in the remaining 3 quarters to deserve its potential and advantages. He called on the municipal business community to join hands to overcome difficulties. Mr. Phuc said every citizen and company must be a soldier to undergo trial of their will power and wisdom in Vietnam’s most dynamic and most innovative center.
