Hoang Ngoc Dung from Son La province said, “I hope the government will put in place effective measures to prevent corruption and waste. The government also needs to increase investment in agriculture, farmers and rural areas, especially remote and mountain areas”.
Stepping up economic restructuring and revising growth model
One of the major solutions is to increase economic restructuring in coordination with revising the growth model.
In a report to the National Assembly, Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc said the government needs to pursue coordinated and resolute measures to strengthen economic growth, renovate the growth model, improve people’s lives, reform administrative procedures and prevent corruption and waste.
"The government will take coordinated and effective measures to implement the Master Project on Economic Restructuring. 289 State-owned enterprises are expected to be equitized this year and the list of SOEs that need to be equitized will be reviewed," he noted.
"The government will increase support for small and medium-sized and household enterprises, encourage the establishment of big enterprises, and promote strong trademarks that are regionally and globally competitive,” Phuc added.
Deputy Head of the Economic Committee of the National Assembly Nguyen Duc Kien said, “Renovating the growth model and economic restructuring play a decisive role because their impact will continue to be felt in the following years."
"In the next three years, the government needs to focus on these two measures, and in the mean time, restructuring state-owned enterprises and public investment should be the priority. The government also needs to work out mechanisms, policies and legal documents to support these measures,” he stressed.
In response to the National Assembly Resolution, the government has put in place several measures to realize this year’s socio-economic tasks. Vietnam aims to achieve a GDP growth rate of 6.2%, increase export value of 10% and generate about 1.6 million jobs.
