According to the State Bank's report on the implementation of Resolution No. 62/2022/QH15 on questioning activities at the 3rd Session of the 15th National Assembly , it is not yet possible to completely end the assignment of credit growth targets.

Proposal for people installing rooftop solar power to notify

The Ministry of Industry and Trade proposed to amend and supplement a number of articles in Decree No. 58 to simplify the procedures for notifying the development of self-produced and self-consumed rooftop solar power sources.

According to the draft, organizations and individuals installing rooftop solar power for self-production and self-consumption without connecting to the national power system only need to send a notice to the People's Committee of the commune where the power source is installed, instead of having to apply for many types of licenses as before.
