She said that governments should map out strategies to control investment in the public sector while reducing the state budget deficit, curbing foreign debts and improving State-run businesses’ investment efficiency.
Gross domestic product growth, inflation, interest rates, current account deficit, and foreign exchange reserves should be well controlled, she said, emphasizing the importance of coordination between relevant agencies under Government management and NA supervision.
