According to a report by the Government, last year, the country saved over 53.88 trillion VND (2.29 billion USD) of the State budget, with an improved public debt situation.
In 2023, the Government will continue to roll out drastic measures to step up thrift practice and wastefulness prevention efforts, including the issuance of a Prime Minister decision clarifying eight major tasks and four key solutions in the field.
