In the morning, the National Assembly held group discussions on socio-economic issues in 2023; the projected socio-economic development plan for 2024; the implementation of the state budget in 2023, the state budget estimates, and the central budget allocation plan for 2024. A mid-term assessment of the implementation of the following plans was also conducted: socio-economic development for 2021-2025; economic restructuring for the period 2021-2025; medium-term public investment for the period 2021-2025; and national finance and public debt borrowing and repayment for the five-year period 2021-2025.

Government report on piloting some specific mechanisms and policies for the development of Da Nang city. Results of the review of the system of legal documents as stipulated in Resolution No. 101/2023/QH15 on the 5th Session of the 15th National Assembly.
During group discussions, many delegates assessed that, in the face of immense difficulties and challenges, the Party, State, National Assembly, and Government have provided timely, focused, and effective leadership and guidance, consistent with many major policies and decisions. After half of the term, Vietnam has basically overcome difficulties and challenges and achieved many important and fairly comprehensive results, creating a foundation for socio-economic development, promoting growth, and enhancing competitiveness in the medium and long term; and continues to be a bright spot in the global economy.
However, economic growth still faces many challenges; macroeconomic stability is not yet truly solid due to the impact of external factors. In 2023, many key growth drivers slowed down and faced numerous difficulties.
Analyzing several influencing factors, difficulties, and assessments of the regional and global situation, President Vo Van Thuong pointed out some causes leading to limitations and obstacles. According to the President, the decentralization and delegation of power have not yielded high results, are not clear, and have not encouraged the responsibility of agencies, organizations, and individuals within the political system.
"The Party's conclusion states that we must promote clear and transparent decentralization and delegation of power, in a way that each level clearly defines its authority and responsibility, so that subordinates do not have to ask superiors about their affairs and superiors do not have to interfere in the work of subordinates. When necessary, questions must be answered clearly and transparently. But we have not yet achieved this," the President said.
The next reason pointed out by the President is the lack of responsibility in drafting legal documents. In addition, there is the problem of officials avoiding or fearing responsibility...
During the group discussions, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh spent considerable time exchanging views with delegates on issues related to investment and development, and responding to climate change in the Mekong Delta region.
According to the Prime Minister, landslides in the provinces and cities of the Mekong Delta are a major problem, requiring both immediate solutions and the development of large-scale, long-term projects to prevent negative impacts on the region. This is one of the important tasks identified by the Government. Among the projects that need to be implemented are those aimed at combating landslides, subsidence, saltwater intrusion, and climate change. This requires increased international cooperation and the mobilization of resources. Projects funded by international loans need to be focused and targeted.
"If we're going to borrow, we must do large-scale projects that will turn the tide and transform the situation, not small, fragmented projects. Instead of spreading ourselves too thin, we should focus on major issues like combating subsidence, landslides, saltwater intrusion, and climate change," Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh noted.
