In addition, it is necessary to ensure price and market stability, especially for essential goods, while closely monitoring and grasping the international and domestic situation, responding promptly, flexibly and effectively with policies to newly arising issues, striving to achieve the highest level of goals, targets and plans for 2023, including GDP growth reaching over 5%, creating momentum for implementing the 2024 plan.

However, as the National Assembly Deputies have pointed out, some regulations, mechanisms and policies are no longer suitable and are slow to be amended. Administrative procedures for production, business and enterprise activities in some areas are still complicated and cumbersome, and administrative procedures within each agency and between agencies sometimes and in some places do not meet requirements. Decentralization and delegation of authority in some areas are still entangled in institutions, especially with newly arising issues.

The Prime Minister said that many issues have been focused on by the Government in the past time, with specific results, however, there are also issues that need further research, and appropriate and effective solutions to focus on overcoming in the coming time. The Government and the Prime Minister look forward to continuing to receive the attention and contributions of National Assembly Deputies and voters nationwide.
