In Resolution 79 of the Politburo , the content of the state economy was defined specifically and comprehensively for the first time.

Accordingly, the state-owned economic foundation comprises resources held, managed, and controlled by the State, specifically consisting of nine main components: land and resources; infrastructure assets; state budget; national reserves; state-owned financial funds outside the budget; state capital in enterprises where the State holds 50% or less of the charter capital; state-owned enterprises; state-owned credit institutions; and public service units.

Resolution 79 identified five guiding principles for the state-owned economy: maintaining a leading role in the socialist-oriented market economy, ensuring macroeconomic stability and major economic balances; equality before the law with other economic sectors; ensuring that state-owned economic resources are fully reviewed, statistically analyzed, evaluated, and accounted for; pioneering development, leading and paving the way; and strengthening the Party's leadership role over the state-owned economy.

The state-owned economy, along with other domestic economic sectors, builds a self-reliant, self-sufficient, and strong economy, ensuring economic security and promoting deep, substantive, and effective international integration. At the same time, Resolution 79 specifically defines the goals for 2030, the vision for 2045, and the tasks and solutions for the nine aforementioned groups of components, including 37 new solutions.
