The Government’s first meetings under the chairmanship of Prime Minister Le Minh Hung focused on removing “bottlenecks” in disbursing public investment, maintaining macroeconomic stability, and promoting new growth drivers. “Correct selection – Fast implementation – Thorough execution – Result-based assessment – Direct accountability for outcomes” is the guiding principle of the new term.
Re-establishing administrative discipline
Along with issuing the Government’s action program to implement Conclusion 18 on the 2026–2030 socio-economic development plan of the Party Central Committee, the Government is determined to re-establish administrative discipline. With the economy facing multiple challenges, the need for a smooth and efficient administrative apparatus has become more urgent than ever.
At the first regular Government meeting, Prime Minister Le Minh Hung emphasized the principle of “clear people, clear tasks, clear responsibilities, clear deadlines, and clear results.” He called for unified thinking, awareness, and action to achieve double-digit economic growth.
“The Government determines the goal of high, sustainable, and substantive economic growth as a central and consistent political task. Ministers, heads of sectors, provincial People’s Committee chairpersons, and Party Secretaries at provincial and municipal levels must focus on strong leadership in the spirit of “Right selection – Fast implementation – Thorough execution – Result-based assessment – Direct accountability for outcomes,” Mr. Hung said.
The Government has issued an action program to implement the Resolution of the 14th National Party Congress, with 12 major task groups, 6 key tasks, and 3 strategic breakthroughs. Solutions will concentrate on promoting growth, maintaining macroeconomic stability, mobilizing and effectively using all resources for development, and ensuring major economic balances.
Prime Minister Le Minh Hung said: “The Government has identified key solutions to achieve double-digit growth, including increasing state budget revenue by 10%. In the state budget plan, particularly for recurrent spending, the Ministry of Finance is required to cut 10% and strive to cut an additional 5% by mid-year to create reserve resources for emergencies and provide funding for development investment.”
An action-oriented Government with clear results
Immediately after consolidating its organizational structure, the Prime Minister and Government members worked with ministries, sectors, and businesses to create transparent monitoring and evaluation mechanisms.
The action-oriented spirit is clearly reflected in the Government’s tasks, with clear timelines for functional agencies, such as setting a deadline for administrative procedure simplification in April, removing obstacles for thousands of projects, fine tuning institutional frameworks, reviewing planning, and amending land policies in 2026.
Prime Minister Hung said: “In the second quarter, regulations must be in place to thoroughly handle surplus public assets, including land and buildings. In the third quarter, research and review work must be completed to ensure efficiency, effectiveness, and unified state management in each sector. In 2026, plans within the national planning system must be reviewed, adjusted, approved, and implemented, ensuring consistency with the goal of double-digit growth. Land-use planning adjustments must be completed in the second quarter and the Land Law and guiding documents will be revised within this year.”
To achieve the high growth targets for the coming period, the new Government will focus on short-term solutions, such as stimulating demand and boosting public investment, and foundational reforms, including improving institutions, the business environment, and strategic infrastructure.
These orientations will require persistence and vigorous implementation, as they will have long-term impacts on the economy’s competitiveness.
