Hung said the government will continue to push for double-digit growth while maintaining macroeconomic stability and keeping inflation at about 4.5% for 2027.

The government will take “decisive and effective measures to lower lending rates, and direct credit toward production, business and exports” while ensuring sufficient electricity and fuel supplies, Hung told the National Assembly on Saturday.
