REUTERS/Thanh Hue Vietnam, a country of some 98 million people that has so far been highly successful in combatting the virus, has recorded 180 new cases since reporting two locally transmitted cases in the northern province of Hai Duong on Thursday. That is a rapid spread given Vietnam has recorded just 1,739 cases and 35 deaths since the disease was first detected a year ago, including 873 locally transmitted infections, thanks to mass testing and a centralised quarantine programme.

Disbursement of public funds sped up to fuel growth

Thursday, 20:21, 25/02/2021 Public investment disbursement has been accelerated since the opening days of the year as it continues to be seen as an important driving force of economic growth this year, the Dau tu (Vietnam Investment Review) newspaper reported. In a report to the Government in early February, Minister of Planning and Investment Nguyen Chi Dung said that an estimated VND452.41 trillion (US$19.6 billion) in investment capital was disbursed last year from the State budget, equivalent to 96.13% of the target set by the Prime Minister. 2019 disbursement, meanwhile, was equal to just 73.7% and 76.75% of the figures targeted by the National Assembly and the Prime Minister.
