On behalf of the PM, Minister of Finance Dinh Tien Dung presented a report on the implementation of the State budget in 2019 and State budget forecast in 2020.
Some commented that the wage hike would enlarge budget spending instead of spending on investment development.
Others suggested public service allowance increase as it has been kept at 25%./.
