(VOVworld) – National Assembly deputies discussed a master plan to restructure the national economy on Friday. According to a National Assembly resolution issued last November, the Government was assigned to complete the master-plan on economic restructuring in combination with growth model renovation to improve the quality, efficiency, and competitiveness of the economy.
The project aims to ensure positive economic growth, contribute to stabilizing the macro-economy, and settle social welfare issues. Under the plan, priorities will be given to restructuring investment, especially public investment, the financial market with focus on commercial banks and financial institutions, state-owned enterprises which center on economic groups and corporations.
Deputies agreed on the need to carry out this master-plan, particularly its orientations, and measures for restructuring. NA Deputy Ngo Duc Manh from Binh Thuan province proposed that economic restructuring must be in line with international economy while protecting domestic market.

I suggest that the plan should pay attention to international integration. It is necessary to defy that international integration is a task for national renewal, development and important condition for economic restructuring. We will enjoy more opportunity for competitiveness and improving people’s living standard.
To Van Tam, a NA deputy from the central highlands province of Kon Tum, says:

‘The 11th National Party Congress has identified fast but sustainable development as a standard throughout the socio-economic development strategy until 2020. The master-plan should take into account a realistic growth rate. I propose the Government reconsider the issue and include in the master-plan indicators on human development as a decisive factor in the Party’s strategic goal for development’.
Nguyen Ngoc Hoa, a representative from Ho Chi Minh City has this to say:

‘I propose to clarify what are national and social resources and how are they distributed to optimize and mobilize society’s resources. Criteria to measure the efficiency of the national economic restructuring process need to be set in place. Finally, the master-plan should clarify legal documents needed for the restructuring’.
Many deputies suggested the Government and State should incorporate agriculture, tourism and marine economic development in line with national defense and security.
