Speaking at the conference, Chairman of the HCMC People's Committee Phan Van Mai emphasized that in 2021, in the context of a prolonged Covid-19 pandemic, the city must fight the pandemic, restore economic production, and support citizens at the same time. However, HCMC's financial industry still strived to collect VND381.53 trillion, achieving more than 104 percent of the estimate, up 2.7 percent year-on-year. It was a great effort of the city’s financial industry.
