According to the NA Committee on Social Affairs, based on the Party leadership, the NA, NA Standing Committee, Government and ministries have issued and implemented many policies on monetary, fiscal, social security, electricity price reduction, electricity bill reduction to support workers and businesses, as well as those affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Lawmakers reported that the NA and its Standing Committee issued nine resolutions and documents to ease difficulties amid the pandemic.
The Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front and the Vietnam General Confederation of Labour also have held many activities, promulgating many policies to support people, workers and businesses to minimize difficulties and the impacts of the pandemic.
The promulgation of policies helped affected people, workers and businesses to overcome difficulties, especially the policies on tax reduction, extension and refund. Thereby, it has timely helped enterprises to restructure production and business, ensuring growth and revenue for enterprises and the state budget.
In order to effectively perform socio-economic development policies and provide support for those hit by the pandemic, the NA Chairman asked the Government to soon issue a growth scenario, accelerate the disbursement of public investment, continue improving business environment, developing private and digital economy, and stimulating domestic demand while boosting collaboration to effectively direct fiscal-monetary policy, and soon bring the resolution adopted by the 13th National Party Congress into life.
He reiterated the Politburo’s stance on continuing to realise the dual goals of fighting the pandemic and ensuring macro-economic stability and the safety of finance-banking and public debts.
The leader suggested continuing with the 5K technology message, considering vaccination a strategy; and enhancing international cooperation in seeking vaccine supplies./.
