Although the program did not start until 7:30, the Chairman of the City People's Committee said he arrived very early to have coffee, breakfast and chat with businessmen, including many female businessmen.

Talking about the double-digit growth story of Ho Chi Minh City, the Chairman of the City People's Committee said that this is an "extremely heavy" task even though the city's economy in 2024 has achievements and bright spots. The city's economy has existing problems and limitations that need to be resolved, including backlog projects.

To achieve the goal of stronger economic growth, the city still has new factors such as implementing an international financial center, but it is not easy.

"The city wants to listen to experts and businesses' suggestions and we really appreciate these designs," said Mr. Nguyen Van Duoc.

Specifically, the leaders of Ho Chi Minh City said that they have proactively implemented solutions such as promoting public investment through focusing mainly on developing transport infrastructure; removing "blood clots" which are projects stuck in the city's jurisdiction, despite many difficulties. The city will also strive to unlock all resources, put projects into operation to contribute to the city's economy from Can Gio transit port, build and develop a transformation center or financial center...
