The slow rate of improvement
According to the assessment of the Ministry of Planning and Investment, the economy continues to be affected by previous difficulties and challenges. Stabilizing the macroeconomics, balancing the state budget, investment, consumption, labor - employment, social security... are current problems.

Mr. Hoang Ngoc Hien, Director of Hien Nam Ceramic Production Co., Ltd. (Bien Hoa City) shared that ceramic products produced at the facility serve two main groups: religious and belief, worship establishments and normal customers. Normally every year, at the present time, the amount of products the business signs with partners is quite abundant, and the jobs of workers are always guaranteed. However, currently, consumer ceramics, which account for the majority of output, are experiencing a decline in sales because consumers are limiting their purchases and production at enterprises is holding up.

Similarly, the owner of a business specializing in technical plastic products and supporting industrial goods also lamented that current sales were only about 60% compared to before. In addition to the decline in orders, the business also face the risk of losing workers. Some skilled workers quit, creating pressure for future training and recruitment.
