On the morning of September 17, the Office of the National Assembly held a press conference to inform about the Vietnam Socio-Economic Forum 2023.

The Socio-Economic Forum is an annual activity of the National Assembly. Having been held twice since the beginning of the term, the Forum has attracted great attention from society, people and the domestic and foreign business community as well as news agencies, newspapers, domestic and international organizations, central and local.

In 2023, in the context of the world economy facing many difficulties and challenges, many major economies, including Vietnam's important trade and investment partners, slowed down their growth and even fell into recession. In the country, although the macro economy remained stable, economic growth faced many difficulties, some growth drivers declined; the monetary, financial, and real estate markets contained many risks; production, business activities, and the labor market faced many difficulties.

Faced with such a context, it is necessary to have short-term response solutions and long-term strategic fundamental solutions; solutions to enhance endogenous capacity, create growth momentum to help the country take advantage of opportunities, respond to and overcome challenges, unleash resources and promote growth and sustainable development.

Strengthening and promoting internal resources, removing obstacles and difficulties, utilizing external resources effectively and promptly, and strongly promoting growth drivers are important tasks for national development.

From that perspective, the content "Enhancing endogenous capacity, creating momentum for growth and sustainable development" was chosen as the theme for the 2023 Socio-Economic Forum.

According to information from the press conference, the Vietnam Socio-Economic Forum 2023 will be held on September 19 at the National Convention Center.
