“Although the State revenue was good compared to the estimate, the revenue in January was lower than the same period in 2021 due to the slow recovery of the economy in the fourth quarter of 2021, and the low growth or decrease in some industries such as metal ore mining dropped by 20%; beer production decreased by 3.6%; electrical equipment production down 5.5%; automobile production decreased by 9.4%,” said the Ministry of Finance.

According to the Ministry, the balance between the central budget and local budgets in January was ensured. The Ministry issued about VND23.08 trillion of Government bonds with an average term of 15.81 years, and an average interest rate of 2.36%/year.
On January 11, 2022, the National Assembly issued Resolution 43/2022/QH15 on fiscal and monetary policies to support socio-economic recovery and development.
