Members of the Standing Committee of the National Assembly were quite surprised when the Government presented a proposal to adjust some socio-economic objectives in 2020 in the morning session of 5/15, commenting on the evaluation report. Complement the socioeconomic situation in 2019 and the plan for 2020.
The verification report of the Economic Committee yesterday, May 14, had no information on the adjustment of this objective.
Previously, the Government also consistently agreed to implement the assigned socio-economic objectives, although in recent times, the forecasts of international organizations, despite the higher growth in the region, Vietnam’s GDP in 2020 will only increase by 2.7%.
Suggest focusing on discussing the latest content proposed by the Government to reduce the 2020 GDP growth target from 6.8% to the original 4.5%, Phung Quoc Hien, Vice President of the National Assembly. He said last night that he was trying to wait for this government report, until almost 21:00, it is impossible to verify this content.

He analyzed that the Government’s growth scenarios are based on forecasts of the disease control situation of Covid-19 in Vietnam and on important trading partners and investors. However, such a calculation is only the answer to the “first wave” of the disease. The vice president of the National Assembly asked: what about the second wave of the Covid-19 epidemic that could occur in the fall – winter 2020, despite the fact that the epidemic may have died out in the country but external sources may have counted ? up to what point
Regarding overcoming the consequences of the epidemics, restoring the economy, Vice President Phung Quoc Hien also requested that the stimulus measures be calculated as “winning”.

Budget revenues, according to the President of the National Assembly, will certainly decrease, despite the fact that the first quarter still increases positively, but it is only because the 2019 source will “overlap”, until April it will become a reality.
The President of the National Assembly expressed his concern for sensitive sectors such as banking and tourism, which has not reopened, it is difficult to see growth. Since then, the President of the National Assembly recalled that the operation of “optimism needs a degree of effort, effort and effort must be extreme.”
Surprised by the Government’s proposal, the President of the National Assembly confirmed that the National Assembly is ready to consider and adjust the growth objective, but that this “must have the green light from the authorities” and must take time for the evaluation. , evaluate.
Vice President of the National Assembly, Tong Thi Phong, also wondered, there was nothing to compare and compare and determine how the growth target adjustment was appropriate. She suggested careful consideration, you should focus drastically on administrative measures first, and then consider and report step by step to the National Assembly on this, to avoid the situation when the situation continues to change, you will have to adjust the goals. again.
