Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh chairs the first meeting of the Steering Committee for Wastefulness Prevention and Control held in Hanoi on February 25. |
According to the PM, the wastefulness is among the causes of the decline in human resources, financial resources, reduced production efficiency, increased cost burdens, resources depletion, and widening wealth gaps.
Additionally, wastefulness erodes public trust in the Party and the State, creates invisible barriers to socio-economic development and causes missed opportunities for national growth.
The PM underscored the wastefulness prevention and control work, given special attention from the Party and State, is among important factors to increase resources strength, ensure social welfare, and promote development, especially in the new revolutionary period.
Therefore, the Government has established the Steering Committee for Wastefulness Prevention and Control to address bottlenecks that cause resources losses and waste in the economy, creating momentum for this work.
