Earlier, on April 16, the government issued Resolution No. 109 updating and supplementing the government’s action program to implement the resolution of the 14th National Party Congress and Conclusion No. 18 of the Party Central Committee.

The core focus of Resolution 109 is achieving double-digit economic growth while maintaining macroeconomic stability and improving people’s living standards.

The resolution outlines strategic tasks including establishing a new growth model driven by science, technology and innovation; improving institutions to unlock production capacity; developing high-quality human resources; and modernizing infrastructure systems.

Ministries, agencies, localities, economic groups, state corporations and state-owned enterprises are required to fulfill development targets and assigned growth tasks for sectors, fields and local economies.

On May 21, the prime minister also issued an official dispatch assigning growth targets to localities and state-owned enterprises.

In the dispatch, local authorities were instructed to urgently complete all targets and indicators in accordance with guidance from the Ministry of Finance and relevant ministries for 2026 and the 2026-2030 five-year period, and submit them to the Ministry of Finance no later than May 23.
