Concluding the meeting, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Do Huu Huy acknowledged that the Department of Finance after the merger had a large workload, and the arrangement, implementation and consultation had achieved results. In addition, there were some tasks that were still slow, and finance is the most important sector in the impact of socio-economic development, especially in the second quarter of this year with heavier tasks, so the Department of Finance should further promote its responsibility. Accordingly, the Chairman requested the Department of Finance to carry out the tasks in the coming time.

First of all, do better ideological work to make civil servants and public employees feel secure in their work, focus on solving outstanding issues, and develop detailed plans for each task of the Provincial Party Committee. On the other hand, promptly advise the Provincial People's Committee on response scenarios for growth in the second quarter, because there are currently many impacts such as the US's reciprocal tax policy on Vietnam, which affects businesses exporting to the US market in the province. On the other hand, also develop a growth scenario to avoid dependence on power generation issues by coordinating with the Department of Industry and Trade to advise the Provincial People's Committee leaders promptly and specifically on the power mobilization plan of Vinh Tan Thermal Power Center in April and the quarters of the year.
