"If you want the economy to be like today, you need to have the morality of the past"

Delegate Nguyen Huu Cau (Nghe An) assessed that the socio-economic situation in 2017 and the first months of 2018 had achieved very outstanding results, with very convincing figures, most notably the highest GDP in the past 10 years. From this result, Mr. Cau "hoped and believed" that the 2018 target would continue to be successful as expected.

However, with the social issues that have occurred in recent times, such as the battery-mixed coffee case, the brutal abuse of nannies, the shocking mass murder case… voters wish that the economy could be like it is now, and morality could be like it was in the past."Voters are worried and express their wishes that the economy will develop as expected."Nowadaysand social ethics byday"old", Mr. Cau emphasized.

Appreciating the efforts made in recent times, according to delegate Vu Thi Luu Mai, the Government's report was quite comprehensive, but it would be better if the policy effectiveness could be evaluated.

Regarding the issue of medium-term public investment, after 2 years of implementation, initial results have been achieved, but in reality there are still many difficulties and challenges. Ms. Mai is concerned that the outstanding debt of basic construction is still high, and the State Audit report said that it is still arising. Ms. Mai hopes that there will be a review and adjustment to prevent this situation.

Or for projects that exceed the total investment, through actual supervision, delegates said that the quality of some projects does not meet requirements, so they will be adjusted upwards, and the National Assembly will have to consider it, such as the Ben Thanh - Suoi Tien project.

While appreciating the results achieved in recent times, National Assembly delegate Nguyen Thanh Xuan said that it is necessary to evaluate and analyze more carefully the growth quality, the contribution of foreign-invested enterprises to the economy, the export structure, especially the sustainability of such macro factors.

Referring to the issue of slow disbursement of public investment capital in the first months of 2018, delegate Thanh Xuan said that the reason given by the Government "due to many holidays in the first months of the year" is not satisfactory and needs to be evaluated more fully.

Delegates suggested that it is necessary to clarify whether it is due to poor management or policy mechanisms and from there propose strong solutions to overcome it in the coming time.
