PM Dung made the statement at the Government's regular meeting on May 29.

Despite affects of China’s illegal placement of the drilling rig Haiyang Shiyou 981, the macro-economy has stabilized. The industry, agriculture and service sectors maintained its growth. Other fields of health, culture, education and poverty reduction have made remarkable achievements. Foreign investment flow continued to increase.

However, there remain shortcomings such as slow growth rate in demand and credits, high rate of bankrupt enterprises and difficulties in manufacturing and production.

The PM directed to stabilize the macro-economy, swiftly deal with bad debts, increase credits for Small and Medium-sized and export enterprises, expand export market, control the gold, foreign currency and stock markets, monitor market prices, especially milk price and strictly prevent smuggling, fakes and trade frauds.

PM Dung asked for paying more attention to the development of health, culture, education, poverty reduction and administrative procedures.

He proposed ministries, agencies and localities boost up communication campaigns and promptly provide sufficient information about socio-economic situation.
