The goal is to create strong growth momentum and maintain a higher pace to successfully implement the 2025 socio-economic development plan.

Streamlining the state apparatus and ensuring consensus

The Government requests ministries, ministerial-level agencies, and agencies under the Government, according to their assigned functions, tasks, and authorities, to thoroughly grasp the contents of the orientation and plan, and the progress of the arrangement and streamlining of the Government's apparatus organization according to the requirements of the Central Steering Committee to summarize the implementation of Resolution No. 18-NQ/TW.

Units focus on propaganda work, creating consensus and unity in the process of reorganization; propose plans to perfect the organizational apparatus; do a good job of political and ideological work for cadres, civil servants, public employees and workers in the process of reorganization and streamlining the organizational apparatus; have solutions to resolve regimes, policies and issues related to personnel work.

State Bank and macroeconomic solutions

One of the important issues in 2024 is monetary and credit policy management.

The State Bank of Vietnam will preside over and coordinate with relevant agencies to manage exchange rates and interest rates, while maintaining the stability of the monetary, foreign exchange, and gold markets.

Credit institutions will continue to reduce lending rates, focusing on production and business sectors, supporting economic growth drivers.

Banks must deploy flexible credit products to serve consumer needs and investment in production and business development in the context of the economy still recovering from the pandemic and other difficulties.

Ensuring energy security and sustainable agricultural development

With a key role in economic development, the Ministry of Industry and Trade will preside over and coordinate with agencies and localities to implement solutions to ensure national energy security.
