Thank you. At the Government&#8217;s regular meeting for May, the Prime Minister directed the implementation of three groups of measures to address businesses&#8217; difficulties. First, continue addressing difficulties facing businesses, particularly those related to administrative procedures, to make it easier for businesses to enter the market and operate. Second, improve input conditions, particularly through fiscal and monetary policy support, including continuing to maintain and ensure stability and helping businesses improve access to credit; recommend that the competent authorities continue considering tax reduction policies and reductions or deferrals of fees and charges to increase the funds available to businesses, support inputs, and provide solutions for outputs. Third, regarding export markets, advance measures to help businesses secure additional new orders soon to support their production and business operations.
