Seminar aims to brace for world recession

A seminar on the challenges that the global economic crisis poses to Vietnam will be held at the National Economics University in Hanoi today.

The seminar will focus on proposals from Vietnamese entrepreneurs on how best to deal locally with the international financial meltdown. The seminar is co-organized by the National Assembly’s Economic Committee and the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry, representatives from the National Economics University said. Some 400 scientists, economists and entrepreneurs are expected to analyze the difficulties of the current global and regional macroeconomic turmoil. Organizers said the one-day seminar, chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Thien Nhan, would aim to provide suggestions to the National Assembly as to how the government may best handle the problem and regulate economic policy in the near future.
