trillion VND (184.93 million USD), accounting for 114% and 83% of the
projections from the Government and the provincial People’s Council,
respectively, he said, adding improvements were seen in the local investment
climate and robust results attained in the areas of social culture and health
care.

province with over 1 trillion VND in support for its Typhoon Yagi relief
efforts, allow the extension of the disbursement of public capital for

provinces’ efforts to carry out socio-economic development missions,
particularly response to and recovery from Typhoon Yagi. He asked the
localities to continue keeping a close watch on and drastically completing
their missions, and ordered competent ministries and sectors to take note of
the proposals and pen measures to handle soon.
