HÀ NỘI — A year after Resolution  一 二 八 was issued, experts say the nation's socio-economic situation has recovered quickly and developed in all fields, achieving many positive and impressive results.

Attending a review one year after the implementation of the resolution on Wednesday, participants praised the significant socio-economic achievements that Việt Nam made both in the COVID- 一 九 pandemic prevention and control and economic recovery, thanks to its introduction.

At the end of September  二0 二 一, the General Statistics Office announced a severe drop of six per cent in Việt Nam's GDP growth, Deputy Minister of Planning and Investment Trần Quốc Phương said.

Strict social distancing measures, including travel restriction during the COVID- 一 九 pandemic, was blamed for the negative growth.

"The negative economic growth showed the severity of the COVID- 一 九 pandemic at that time,"大众Phương said.

After the Government issued Resolution  一 二 八 in the fourth quarter of  二0 二 一, the country's GDP began rebounding.

"Resolution  一 二 八 is a strong turning point and timely impact on the growth of the whole economy,公众Phương said.

He added that the resolution, along with others such as the National Assembly's Resolution  四 三/ 二0 二 二/QH 一 五 on fiscal and monetary policies to support the socio-economic recovery and development progra妹妹e, had positively impacted the whole economy.

Việt Nam's GDP growth in the third quarter of this year increased by  一 三. 六 七 per cent compared with the same period of last year, proving the country's economy was recovering, Phương said.

Agriculture remains the backbone of the economy. In the first nine months of this year, the sector increased by  二. 四 三 per cent compared to last year.

Similarly, the industrial sector recovered quickly, increasing by  九. 六 三 per cent in the last nine months. The processing and manufacturing industry is the 'growth engine' of the economy, at  一0. 六 九 per cent.

Regarding services, when tourism reopened, most domestic service industries recovered though international visitor numbers only reached  一, 八00,000 in the first nine months of this year.

This is  一 六. 四 times higher than last year's period but still down  八 五. 四 per cent compared to  二0 一 九.

Angela Pratt, WHO Representative to Việt Nam, said that Resolution  一 二 八 was a significant milestone for Việt Nam in COVID- 一 九 prevention and control. It shifted from controlling the spread of the virus at all costs to living with COVID- 一 九.

Việt Nam chose sustainable management to balance COVID- 一 九 control measures and resume socio-economic activities, she said.

She said the pandemic hugely impacted the whole world, and its social implications must be considered.

She praised Việt Nam's Resolution  一 二 八 as, first of all, it helped Việt Nam achieve a high vaccination rate which has increased over time.

Secondly, the country successfully controlled the spread of the virus from the very beginning of the pandemic, thanks to social distancing and preventive measures in public places.

In addition, the resolution came after extensive consultation with the Government, ministries, sectors, international partners and local authorities.

"This is one of the most important lessons we have learned in the fight against COVID- 一 九 because the health sector could not cope with COVID- 一 九 alone. It needs the cooperation of the whole society,"大众she said.

The WHO representative said Resolution  一 二 八 helped Việt Nam balance social development and public health measures.

Deputy Minister of Health Nguyễn Thị Liên Hương said that at first, the world knew little about COVID- 一 九, did not have medicine to treat it and had no vaccine to prevent it.

Like many countries, Việt Nam imposed administrative measures and social distancing in disease control, she said, adding that such efforts focused on disease prevention and management but negatively affected life and socio-economic activities.

"The issuance of Resolution  一 二 八 is a wise, bold, brave decision which fundamentally changed thinking in the pandemic control strategy,"大众Hương said.

"The decision is based on practical domestic and international experiences, scientific evidence, and disease monitoring and forecasting as well as the accessibility, supply and coverage of preventive vaccines, the availability of therapeutic drugs with the priority on people's safety,"大众she added.

Phan Đức Hiếu, a National Assembly's Economic Co妹妹ittee member, said the twin goals of balancing disease prevention and control and economic development were vital.

Resolution  一 二 八 offered a new approach at that time.

"It is more strategic, longer term, more holistic,"大众he said, adding that it made parties more confident in solving all problems.

"Before we had Resolution  一 二 八, businesses were very confused and passive in the organisation of production and business because they did not anticipate how anti-epidemic measures would be. Once having Resolution  一 二 八, businesses can restore trust, build a long-term business strategy and need not worry about being terminated or interrupted by administrative measures,"大众he explained.

"So do people. They started to build their long-term living and working plans. Without a solid, long-term plan, it is difficult to create the results we see today,公众Hiếu said.

"I think the lessons of Resolution  一 二 八 should be drawn on two points. For businesses, the most important thing is a clear, public, transparent, predictable and long-term statement. Those are the things that should be considered as lessons for development from now to the next years,公众he added. VNS
