These tasks are stipulated at the Government’s November resolution, recently published by the PM.

The Government asked the State Bank of Viet Nam (SBV) to continue pursuing the flexible monetary policies in accordance with maintaining macro-economic balance and combine fiscal policies to support enterprises to access to capital inflow and raising foreign reserve for surging demands at the year end.

The SBV shall have extradite difficulties to handle non-performing loans and instruct commercial banks to timely disburse the VND 30,000 billion credit package on social housing.

The Ministry of Finance is in charge of working with other ministries, agencies and localities to manage budget collection and avoid revenue losses, tax debts, frauds and arrogation.

The Government also tasked the Ministry of Industry and Trade to speed up negotiations for trade agreements, ensure demand-supply balance on the threshold of the upcoming Lunar New Year Festival and prevent price escalation.

Tough punishments would be imposed on illegal trade, trade frauds, counterfeit and unexpected rising prices.

The Government leader also requested the Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs to supervise and support poor households so that no family would suffer from hunger especially those in regions ridden by extreme difficulties and natural disasters.

The Ministry of Health was assigned to improve medical check-up services, reduce overloading in hospitals, tighten the granting of licenses and strengthen supervision of private medical clinics, and ensure food hygiene./.
