Ho Chi Minh City has devoted more resources to developing social culture, education , health care, etc. to improve people's quality of life, helping the whole country stabilize the macro economy, control inflation, and ensure national defense and security.

Besides the achieved results, Secretary Nguyen Van Nen said there are still many limitations when the growth target reached 7.2%, while the target of 8% was set to complete the resolution's target.

Although there have been many changes in strategic breakthroughs in infrastructure and policies, progress has not been met, especially in public investment disbursement, project implementation progress, flood reduction, environmental improvement, housing along canals... although efforts are still being made, there are still many problems.

"It is necessary to properly assess the achievements to continue promoting and accurately assess the difficulties to overcome. I suggest that the conference discuss and clarify this issue in depth," Mr. Nen suggested.
