The Ministry of Planning and Investment reported that Vietnam recorded a better socio-economic performance over the past 11 months with significant progress. The macro-economy remained stable, inflation was controlled, and major economic balances were maintained with export surplus at over 23 billion USD while energy and food security was ensured.

International organizations praised Vietnam’s economic resilience, upgrading its growth forecasts positively while confidence among businesses in economic prospects was also restored.

In his remarks, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh acknowledged the efforts of ministries and sectors in accomplishing their assigned tasks with high quality and promptly addressing issues related to socio-economic development.

He emphasized the government's commitment to prioritizing higher economic growth, targeting a GDP growth rate exceeding 7% this year and fulfilling all 15 set targets.

The Prime Minister urged members of the Government, along with heads of ministries, agencies, and localities to adopt innovative and breakthrough approaches, uphold high determination, make greater effort, and take resolute action.

He stressed the need to focus on implementing Resolution 18 of the Party Central Committee on restructuring the political system in an effective and efficient manner.

Prime Minister Chinh said: “Restructuring the apparatus is sensitive to the interests of the people, requiring clear leadership and coordination across agencies to ensure unity within the political system and the Party’s unified direction. The Party has directed, the Government has agreed, the National Assembly has endorsed, and the people support it, therefore, we just move forward.”

The Prime Minister stressed the need to ensure market stability, particularly for essential goods, food, and foodstuffs, as the year-end and Lunar New Year approach.

The Prime Minister underlined the guidelines for the government action next year focused on strengthening discipline and responsibility, promoting timely initiative, effectively streamlining, creating momentum for breakthroughs, and aiming for 8% GDP growth in 2025.
