The two systems, developed and run by the Ministry of Public Security, are part of Government efforts to shift from paper-based to electronic document management. The national database on population is the most important system among the six national databases to help form an e-Government. The project on citizen identification card production, issuance and management was approved by the Government last September. The Ministry of Public Security expects to issue chip-based ID cards to 50 million citizens by July 1 this year. Under the Law on Citizen Identification in 2014, people from 14 years of age can obtain an ID card, which is renewed when they turn 25, 40, and 60 years of age. More than 29,000 citizens have obtained new ID cards to date, including 1,369 delegates to the 13th National Party Congress.

With the current pandemic situation, the Ministry of Planning and Investment estimates an increase of 4.46 per cent for Q1's GDP. — VNA/VNS File Photo HÀ NỘI — If the COVID-19 pandemic is controlled in the first quarter, the GDP for the period may increase by 4.46 per cent, said the Ministry of Planning and Investment (MPI). According to MPI, the first resolution of the 13th National Congress of the Party or Resolution 01/NQ-CP set the main tasks and solutions for the implementation of the socio-economic development plan and State budget estimate with growth scenarios for each quarter and sector in 2021. As the resolution set a GDP growth of 5.12 per cent for the first quarter, the estimated growth rate for Q1 was 0.66 percentage points lower than the target. The ministry said: “If the growth targets in the following quarters set in the resolution are reached, the decline will put the growth for the whole year 2021 at 6.37 per cent, reaching the target of 6 per cent set by the National Assembly and lower than the growth target of 6.5 per cent set in the resolution.” Minister of Planning and Investment Nguyễn Chí Dũng said: “It is necessary to urgently and drastically implement the resolution’s target through striving to achieve the goals of the socio-economic development plan.” In a report submitted to the Government last month, the MPI proposed solutions to promote economic growth through three core economic fields of investment, export and consumption. Under the proposal, the financial and banking sectors would continue to implement a rational expansion of fiscal and monetary policies to stabilise the macro-economy, stimulate economic growth and save expenses. At the same time, the sectors should spend resources on anti-pandemic activities and development investment, maintain a reasonable interest rate level, improve credit quality, focus credit on priority areas and strictly control areas with risks. MPI also said the sectors …
