Cabinet meeting reviews socio-economic situation in first two monthsThe Government convened its regular meeting, the first sitting in the Lunar New Year, in Hanoi on March 1 chaired by Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc. The leader also commented on exports in the month, which stood at some 13.4 billion USD, raising the total export value in the two months to 33.6 billion USD, up nearly 23 percent year-on-year. He cited a trade surplus of 1.08 billion USD as a highlight of the national economy in February. Inflation pressure this year could be high due to tens of billions of USD in foreign investment being poured into the country. Focusing on business production development to create a healthier environment remains a major requirement for all departments and sectors, the PM stressed.
