The government is trying to make fiscal policy more effective by using savings from curbs on administrative spending and extravagance for stimulus-style fiscal policies such as tax cuts for small companies and expanding VAT reform, he said.

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology last week ordered more than 1,400 companies in 19 industries including steel, ferro alloys, and cement, to cut excess production capacity this year, an indication the government is pursuing
