Economists have forecast that the Vietnamese economy could grow by 6.86 percent this year, higher than the 6.6 – 6.8 percent set by the National Assembly.
The Government should enhance macro-economy stability to strengthen the national economy when risks are yet to appear, said members of the National Financial and Monetary Policy Advisory Council at a meeting on July 2.
Total State budget collection in the first five months of this year was estimated at 508.6 trillion VND (21.86 billion VND), fulfilling 43.5 percent of the estimate and up 14.1 percent year-on-year, the General Department of Taxation (GDT) reported.
