The forum is held in the context of the world economy in 2023 facing many difficulties and challenges, many major economies, including Vietnam's important trade and investment partners, are slowing down in growth, even falling into recession.

Domestically, although the macro economy remains stable, economic growth faces many difficulties, some growth drivers decline; the monetary, financial, and real estate markets pose many risks; production, business, and labor market activities face many difficulties.

The above reality requires early short-term response solutions and fundamental solutions with long-term strategic vision; 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.

The forum will focus on exchanging and comprehensively and objectively assessing the current state of Vietnam's economy in 2023 and the 3-year period of 2021-2023; identifying bottlenecks and barriers to socio-economic development, including issues of input and output markets, investment, export and consumption of the economy.

At the same time, discover and propose development potentials and opportunities, as well as solutions and policies to unleash resources, create driving forces to promote growth and socio-economic development, respond to new challenges and issues, and take advantage of new opportunities.

The opinions and discussions at the Forum will be a useful source of information providing more scientific and practical arguments for the Nationalities Council and the National Assembly Committees to examine the contents within their functions; and an important source of input information for National Assembly deputies to consider and decide on important issues of the country at the upcoming 6th Session of the 15th National Assembly.
