The delegates who voted in the hall agreed to the adjustment of Mr. Nguyen Thanh Phong.

According to the explanation of Mr. Nguyen Thanh Phong, Ho Chi Minh City is a town with great economic openness, the total export turnover accounts for a large proportion of GDP. Meanwhile, European countries, the US, and many countries around the world are entering the second and third infection waves of the COVID-19 epidemic.
The recovery of world economies continues to be slow, the fastest is for the end of 2021. From there, it can be seen that the world economic situation continues to be difficult and directly affects the city’s economy. In addition, the time of access to the vaccine against the COVID-19 epidemic has not yet been determined.
According to Mr. Phong, Ho Chi Minh City proposes to the Central to increase the city’s budget regulation rate for 2021 to 23% to ensure investment needs for development. However, the general situation in the country is still difficult, so the proposal to increase the budget regulation rate has not been considered. Therefore, the 8% GDP increase in the next period is consistent with the current situation.
