National Assembly (NA) deputies discussed the country’s
socio-economic situation in 2014 and major tasks for 2015 during the

They focused on the implementation of this year’s overall targets and
key socio-economic indications, while pointing out a number of

the country next year.
The lawmakers touched upon
macro-economic policies, economic restructuring and growth model
renovation, ODA use efficiency, the control of public and bad debts,
budget overspending, monetary, credit and banking policies, and export
market expansion.
They also gave ideas on investment
in agriculture and rural areas, support industry, forest protection and
development; maritime economic strategy and support policies for
fishermen; and social welfares, health care, education and training
services for the people, especially those living in disadvantaged areas.
During the sitting, which was broadcast live on
