The situation of the Covid-19 pandemic is very complicated and more serious than expected. Up to 23 cities and provinces which are implementing social distancing account for 70% of total state budget revenue.

The Minister suggested that the units must focus on pointing out obstacles and difficulties, forecast possible problems, thereby developing appropriate solutions, advising the Government on the finance and budget field and striving to complete the assigned tasks.

The Minister noted a matter of concern that in the context of high economic growth in many countries around the world, if Vietnam has a low growth rate, it will directly affect state budget revenue.

For the remaining months of the year, Minister Ho Duc Phuoc required units to quickly solve issues related to the prevention and control of the Covid-19 pandemic; focus on building and improving institutions; focus on reviewing and building tax exemption and reduction packages to support people and businesses; develop the information technology plan for the next five years; and propose solutions to speed up the disbursement of public investment capital.

The Minister also requested units pay attention to promoting the application of information technology in the new situation, especially in the fields of Customs, Taxation and Treasury to provide maximum support for taxpayers and budget-using units.
