*Top 10 socio-economic indicators
PM Phuc mentioned the following ten most impressive socio-economic indicators:
Coping with low GDP
However, Viet Nam is struggling against a low GDP growth rate at 5.1%. While the agricultural and service sectors grew fairly, the industry and construction sectors suffered low growth paces.
Experts attributed the low GDP to poor performance of oil exploitation, and manufacturing activities. Hence, the PM asked for further discussions to resolve the slow GDP growth rate in Q1.
The Government chief also stressed the shortcomings of slow SOEs equitization, traffic accidents, as well as large-scale fire and explosion cases.
On this occasion, the Cabinet will discuss the implementation of the law making program; a draft decree on management and development of industrial complexes; a draft National Assembly’s Resolution on unemployment insurance funds for labor employers.
The Government will listen to a report of the Minister of Science and Technology on the fourth industrial revolution./.
