The Government has tightly controlled the preparation of estimates, allocation, and management of state budget usage and public assets. They have focused on reviewing, synthesizing, categorizing, and developing solutions to decisively overcome obstacles for long-stalled projects.
The Government has also implemented comprehensive measures to strengthen gold market management. Market management, e-commerce, and campaigns against smuggling, trade fraud, counterfeit goods, poor-quality products, and intellectual property violations have been synchronized, yielding positive results and are being further promoted.
