HCM City reviews development issues in 10 months

It was reported that the target economic hub has maintained its growth with major targets fulfilled in the review period.

Total retail sales and services revenue continued to increase considerably, reaching more than VND373 trillion. Its consumer price index (CPI) in October rose by 0.18 percent compared to September. Industrial production value also rose while progress was made in implementing key projects.

In addition, the city effectively carried out programs for the poor and generated jobs for its residents.

The achievements were attributed to the local administration’s efforts in implementing a Government resolution aimed at controlling high inflation, stabilizing the macro-economy and ensuring social welfare.

At the meeting, Mayor Le Hoang Quan directed municipal departments and businesses to proceed with implementation of the Government resolution. He said efforts will be focused on closely monitoring market fluctuation to stabilize goods prices, and preparing an abundant supply of goods for the upcoming traditional Lunar New Year festival (Tet).
