Up to 2.4 trillion VND from the central budget’s reserves in 2022 has been spent on pandemic prevention and control and to assist people who are facing difficulties due to the pandemic, as well as plant varieties and livestock support to restore production in areas damaged by natural disasters and epidemics.
About 27,600 tonnes of rice were allocated from the national reserve to the needy affected by natural disasters, epidemics and between-crop food shortage.
Given rising inflation and interest rates that might affect budget revenue, Minister of Finance Ho Duc Phoc suggested that it is necessary to continue to operate a flexible and effective fiscal policy. He highlighted the need to strengthen tax revenue from e-commerce and digital platforms, along with VAT refunds./.
