Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc stresses growth qualityPrime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc emphasised the need to ensure the quality of growth and people’s living standards at the same time while addressing the Cabinet’s meeting in Hanoi on April 2. The Government is resolved to achieve the growth rate of at least 6.7 percent in 2018. However, ensuring growth quality is an important task of ministries, agencies and localities,” he said. The leader attributed the country’s first-quarter growth rate of 7.38 percent, the highest level over the past decade, to drastic actions taken by the Government. PM Phuc said the Asian Development Bank and some other financial institutions forecast Vietnam’s economic growth rate at about 6.7 percent in 2018, which matches the Government’s calculation.
