Timely support packages: not leaving anyone behind VIR The online meeting had set forth the "dual targets" of the government, authorised management agencies, and localities in the current context: giving priority to the fight against the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak while maintaining production, business, and ensuring social order and stability. When setting a dual task, it is important to clarify what task will hold the top priority to avoid confusion in implementation by policy execution units.

The aluminum alloy train will have three cars, each 19.5 meters long, and can travel at up to 110 kilometers per hour on elevated stretches and 80 kph underground. It can carry up 930 passengers, 147 of them seated. The train could be lengthened to up to six cars. Japanese contractor Hitachi is conducting the final safety checks on the train before delivering it to the city this year.

Cash-strapped local businesses hunting for foreign M&A deals VIR The coronavirus crisis is expected to create mergers and acquisitions opportunities for foreign dealmakers in the coming months as cash-starved Vietnamese companies seek funding to overcome their difficulties. In the first quarter of 2020, the whole country saw 2,523 instances of capital contribution and share purchases by foreign investors with a total value of capital contributions reaching $2 billion, up 53 per cent against the same period last year and capturing nearly 34 per cent of the total registered capital, according to data by the Foreign Investment Agency under the Ministry of Planning and Investment.

E-commerce companies offer coronavirus discounts VnExpress E-commerce players are offering a variety of delivery discounts to boost sales amid coronavirus travel restrictions. Lazada has launched a two-hour delivery service on fresh products including meat, milk and vegetables in HCMC. The company plans to expand the campaign to Hanoi and other localities soon.
