Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has requested relevant ministries, agencies and localities to promptly take measures to restore production and business activities, and support people in disaster-affected localities to overcome the consequences.
He made the instruction while chairing an online conference on November 13 with leaders from seven provinces and cities in the central region to discuss recovery efforts.
He urged local authorities to prioritize the reconstruction of homes, restoration of livelihoods, and rebuilding of critical infrastructure such as hospitals, schools, and communication systems.
Efforts are underway to restore production and ensure the continuity of supply chains, particularly in agriculture. The Government is working with financial institutions to implement tax, credit, and insurance support policies to aid recovery. The PM stressed the importance of maintaining market stability and preventing price hikes or shortages of essential goods.
In late October and early November, localities from Ha Tinh to Dak Lak were continuously hit by storms and floods, particularly the prolonged historic flooding in Hue and Da Nang cities following Typhoon Fengshen and Typhoon Kalmaegi, the 12th and 13th storms in the East Sea (internationally known as the South China Sea) this year.
This wave of natural disasters was extremely severe, with preliminary estimates indicating losses exceeding VND30 trillion ($1.14 billion), reducing economic growth by approximately 0.2–0.4%.
