The PM stressed that in 2026, with the goal of achieving double-digit growth, priority must continue to be given to maintaining macroeconomic stability, controlling inflation, promoting growth and ensuring major economic balances. Public, government and foreign debts must be kept under control in line with National Assembly resolutions, while growth must be rapid yet sustainable. He urged to aggressively push for public investment disbursement to help spur growth and ensure the allocation of medium-term public investment capital for 3,000 projects.

“Monetary policy must remain proactive, flexible, appropriate, and effective, contributing to macroeconomic stability and inflation control. The State Bank will adjust credit growth based on actual conditions. Well-performing credit institutions will be allowed to expand, while those that are less effective will be subject to tighter control. Capital flows will be directed toward growth drivers, including green growth, digital transformation, the circular economy, and other priority sectors,” said Mr. Chinh.

PM Chinh asked the Ministry of Industry and Trade to boost exports, consolidate traditional markets and expand into new ones, while accelerating negotiations and the signing of free trade agreements with partners such as the Southern Common Market (Mercosur), the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and Pakistan. The Ministry of Finance was tasked with urgently putting into operation a national single-window investment portal linked with localities, creating the most favourable conditions to attract foreign direct investment (FDI).
