A solution is needed to definitively resolve the 20% of outstanding projects.
The delegates generally agreed with the content of the reports and presentations and highly appreciated the results achieved in implementing the socio-economic development tasks for 2025.
The vast majority of delegates agreed with the report on the socio-economic situation in 2025 and the tasks for 2026. Besides the achievements, there are still some shortcomings and limitations, such as economic growth not commensurate with potential and strengths; social infrastructure and urban development still face many obstacles; and there is a shortage of classrooms and hospital beds.
In particular, some officials and civil servants still have a fear of responsibility, so they "don't dare to think, dare to act, dare to take responsibility," leading to slow disbursement of public investment and bottlenecks in the processing of administrative documents for citizens and businesses.
The delegate suggested that the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee research and clarify several issues. These include comparing and evaluating the targets achieved in 2025, especially those related to economic growth, labor productivity, per capita income, waste management, social housing, healthcare , flooding, and traffic congestion. This will serve as the basis for determining the targets for 2026.
Ho Chi Minh City's budget revenue still heavily depends on the real estate market and exports, requiring fundamental and sustainable solutions to exploit revenue sources from production and business activities.
Regarding the implementation results of the 2025 theme; Resolution 98/2023 of the National Assembly ; and the fundamental resolution of outstanding issues in the city, the report shows that 168 out of 838 projects still have unresolved legal issues; the progress of social housing projects is still slow, and there is no specific progress schedule. The delegate suggested that solutions are needed to definitively resolve the remaining 20% of projects, preventing them from dragging on for too long.
They collect traffic fees, but don't maintain the infrastructure.
Following the administrative unit merger, the workload and pressure on commune-level officials are immense, yet many officials and civil servants lack specialized training and experience in their assigned fields. The delegate noted that this is an "objective reason" and suggested that the city pay attention to arranging, training, and retraining them to ensure they are capable of fulfilling their duties.
The delegate also pointed out that one of the fundamental solutions to address traffic congestion and enhance inter-regional connectivity is the development of public transportation, especially urban rail systems (Metro).
Therefore, the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee delegate stated the planning, schedule, and investment progress of these projects in the coming period.
The delegate also pointed out the reality that some investors in BOT transportation projects have collected tolls for many years but have not paid attention to maintaining and upgrading the infrastructure, and this needs to be effectively addressed.
According to target number 18 on social housing development, Ho Chi Minh City must have 25,287 units by the end of 2026. The delegate suggested that specific solutions and resources for implementation should be identified, along with a mechanism for allocating social housing funds to trade unions to support workers in accessing opportunities to buy homes for stable employment and contribute to retaining human resources.
