Lao assembly calls for gov’t to address economic issues
VIENTIANE (Vientiane Times/ANN) – National Assembly members yesterday centred their debate on ways to address economic issues, expressing concern about the nation’s mounting debts, revenue shortfall, falling foreign currency reserves, and the economic slowdown.
While debating a report on socio-economic development and the state budget plan at the NA session yesterday, members called for the government to do more to address issues that would fill people’s stomachs and alleviate poverty.
The debate took place as the country faces economic difficulties. The economy is vulnerable to external impacts and stronger political will is required to deal with these challenges.
