(VOVworld)-The Autumn Economic Forum 2014 with the theme “Economic Restructuring: Expectation for Vigorous and Fundamental changes” opened in Ninh Binh on Saturday.. The event, which is jointly organized by the National Assembly’s Economics Commission, the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Academy of Social Sciences, aims to seek practical measures to restructure the national economy.

In her address, National Assembly Vice Chair Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan highlighted Vietnam’s economic achievements in the first nine months of this year. Ngan said:“This forum is of great importance because it is held at a time when the Communist Party of Vietnam is reviewing 30 years of renovation, 5 years of implementing the Resolution of the 11^th Party Congress. We hope to receive contributions from economic experts, policy makers, state management agencies and local authorities to realize this year’s targets and map out orientations for the years to come. We need to discuss the constraints in economic restructuring, especially in combining economic restructuring with growth model shifting”.

Under Vietnam’s Socio-Economic Development Plan in the 2011-2015 period, Vietnam aimed to restructure state owned enterprises, public sector and commercial banks.
