Prime Minister Hung chaired the regular Government meeting for May 2026 in Hanoi. "We must be more detailed and forecast each specific case, industry, field and economic region. In case of fluctuations, we will apply solutions on monetary policy, budgets, industrial development, agriculture, trade, and services to set up a "buffer" against external impacts and cushion shocks," he said.
Assigning specific tasks to ministries and sectors, the Prime Minister requested the State Bank to flexibly manage interest rates, exchange rates and credit growth to strictly control total means of payment and avoid creating pressure on the price level.
The Ministry of Finance was urged to operate fiscal policy towards reasonable and focused expansion, while localities focus on resolving site clearance, compensation, support, and resettlement right after the investment policy is approved.
