The "Growth, Employment and Redistribution Plan" was launched on 1996, aiming at achieving economic growth, increasing employment and gradually changing the unreasonable distribution situation by promoting privatization, reducing fiscal deficit, increasing the flexibility of the labor market, promoting exports, relaxing foreign exchange controls, and encouraging the development of small and medium-sized enterprises.
