The first working day of the 34th meeting of the National Assembly Standing Committee (NASC) on September 13 focused on the allocation of the State budget for investment.
The NA’s Finance–Budget Committee agreed with principles and requirements proposed by the Government to adequately allocate the State budget.
The Committee also urged the Government to speed up administrative reforms, streamline the apparatus, and mobilize social resources to ease the pressure on the State budget.
Besides, priorities should be given to education, healthcare, science, technology, national defense and security, and development in mountains, border areas and islands.
According to the Government’s report presented at the meeting, the allocation of the State budget for investment in recent years has well served socio-economic development, upgraded infrastructure, and realized development targets in terms of human resources training, education, healthcare, culture, and poverty reduction./.
