According to the government’s budget plan, revenues are set to rise 20 percent during the period to VND8,300 trillion ($358.71 billion), and its average deficit is set to be 3.7 percent of GDP.

Commenting on the budget plan, National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue said the government did not include a category that is to preparefor the implementation of the Public Investment Law.

This is needed since many key projects have not been planned specifically and are therefore delayed, he added.
