Nguyen Manh Hung, Standing Member of the NA Economic Committee, said 2022 is an important year for the implementation of the socio-economic recovery and development programme and the socio-economic development plan from 2021 – 2025.

He anticipated that multiple challenges caused by rising prices, transport and logistics costs, potential disruptions of supply from China, Russia-Ukraine crisis will have tremendous impacts on people’s lives, particularly the poor and low-income earners, and reduce enterprises’ resilience and put a brake on their recovery.

The forum will provide a comprehensive review of Vietnam’s economy in the first nine months of 2022 and outlook for the entire year; discuss pressing domestic and international socio-economic problems and institutional issues in the new context; and identify potential inflationary, financial, fiscal and monetary risks as well as proper solutions and policies to address issues in the fields of science-technolocy, education, labour, health care and social welfare.

It will comprise two seminar sessions - one on accelerating institutional reforms and improving policies on land management as a major solution for socio-economic recovery and development; and the other on foster the implementation of supportive policies for enterprises and labourers to leverage business and production recovery and sustainable development.
