Deputy PM demands rapid rumour rebuttals
Deputy Prime Minister Hoang Trung Hai has ordered concerned State agencies to develop a quick-response system for releasing official information and decisions relating to economic policies to the mass media.
The move is aimed at preventing the types of rumours that have had negative impacts on the stock market and the economy in recent months.
The head of the Government Office Nguyen Xuan Phuc emphasised the important role of the mass media to disseminate information accurately to maintain economic stability.
The Ministry of Finance, the State Bank of Viet Nam, the Ministry of Industry and Trade and the Ministry of Information and Communications have been told to propose a scheme to the Prime Minister next month.
Hai has also asked ministries, industries and local authorities to promulgate timely and transparent information on decisions and regulations relating to monetary policy, foreign exchange, interest rates, price controls, and other sensitive economic issues.
Deputy Minister of Information and Communications Nguyen Thanh Hung, while lauding the efforts of the mass media to promulgate economic policies in the past, urged leaders of press organisations to further improve the quality of information.
