PM Nguyen Tan Dung revealed the Government’s goals set for 2015, including a GDP growth rate of 6.2%, an inflation rate of 5% and a reduction in budget overspending to around 5%.

To that end, the Government will focus on completing the market economy mechanism since it was regarded as a breakthrough, reforming mechanisms, laws, administrative procedures, developing capital, monetary, labor and real estate markets, facilitating businesses to increase labor and competitiveness capacity; bettering the business environment and preventing smuggling and trade of fake commodities.

PM Dung also highlighted the anti-corruption work as a priority in the future, proposing two major solutions including the completion of the market economy in accordance with reforming administrative procedure, being transparent in asset, budget, mineral resources, and State-owned enterprise management, and strictly dealing with corruption activities.

The Government will also guarantee the social fairness and security in terms of job creation, healthcare service, educational opportunities and poverty reduction, he asserted.
