In the first month of 2022, with a fierce, hard-working spirit, on January 30, the Government issued Resolution No. 11/NQ-CP on the Socio-economic Development and Recovery Program and implemented Resolution No. 43/2022/QH15 of the National Assembly on fiscal and monetary policies to support the Program.
