He cautioned, however, that there are many risks to the goal in the second half of the year. The conference, involving representatives from 34 provinces, discussed scenarios, solutions, and tasks to achieve this year’s growth target.
Prime Minister Chinh urged localities to thoroughly analyze, discuss, evaluate, and find solutions to restructure the economy and shift to an optimal growth model amid a volatile global landscape and Vietnam’s own economic challenges.
