Minister of Finance Hồ Đức Phớc highly appreciated ADB's cooperation initiatives and thanked ADB for its support for the Ministry of Finance, which have contributed to the country’s socio-economic development.
Minister Hồ Đức Phớc spoke about Vietnam's macroeconomic situation. Vietnam is facing a resurgence of the Covid-19 pandemic, seriously affecting socio-economic life.
Up to 23 provinces and cities of Vietnam are implementing social distancing, affecting the production and business of the business community, reducing economic growth as well as state budget revenue. However, the Government of Vietnam still focuses on pandemic prevention and control and economic development.
