Achieving the target of an average economic growth rate of 10% or higher during the 2026-2030 period is a major challenge and requires high demands. It necessitates shaping a development mindset, establishing a new growth model, and creating new growth drivers linked to science and technology, innovation, digital transformation, and green transformation. Simultaneously, it requires decisive and effective implementation solutions to revitalize traditional growth drivers.

At the forum, the presentations analyzed fundamental and core information about the Vietnamese economy in 2025; assessments of the international context, analysis of Vietnam's advantages, and thereby identified opportunities and challenges for the Vietnamese economy.

The discussions also highlighted urgent requirements that Vietnam must address regarding policy mechanisms, financial resources, application capacity, scientific and technological development, and the investment and development management capabilities of economic entities, especially domestic enterprises.
