Many challenges put pressure on the ability to achieve growth targets
Basically agreeing with the Economic Committee's review of the socio-economic results and state budget in 2022 and the first months of 2023, the National Assembly deputies acknowledged that in the context of the economy facing many challenges and difficulties, the Government and ministries, branches and localities have made efforts to direct, manage and achieve remarkable results in implementing the socio-economic development plan.
Specifically, the macro economy is basically stable, inflation is controlled, growth is promoted, major balances are ensured. The labor market is focused on development; strengthening the connection between labor supply and demand, supporting workers in finding jobs and for the first time piloting a nationwide online job exchange; timely supporting people and workers who have lost their jobs, reduced working hours...

In particular, the GDP growth in the first quarter was very low, especially negative growth in some localities compared to the same period, including economic locomotives.

Few new businesses are established, the number of dissolved and bankrupt businesses is increasing; many businesses lack orders, so many workers lose their jobs. Trade deficit continues to be large, inflation is higher than the consumer price index. The markets are still facing many difficulties, businesses and people are facing many difficulties.

The situation of holding too many meetings with some unnecessary contents, inappropriate meeting members, waste in the organization stage.
High-tech crime and online fraud are becoming more complicated. Energy issues such as gasoline, electricity, and renewable energy are slow to be resolved. The implementation of the Socio-Economic Recovery and Development Program is facing difficulties. The work of building and perfecting the legal system and state management is still a bottleneck; the mentality of avoidance, pushing work, fear of mistakes, and lack of responsibility causes congestion and stagnation in solving work.
The epidemic situation still has the potential to become complicated, and the problems in the health sector have not been completely resolved...
