Comprehensive, inclusive approach

Concluding the meeting, the Deputy Prime Minister thanked the members for attending the meeting and speaking fully, expressing their opinions, and making profound contributions to the implementation of the Project.

"This is a very important and difficult project because it is the foundation and driving force to mobilize and effectively use state resources, contributing to promoting the country's rapid and sustainable development, in the spirit of double-digit growth in the coming period. The state economic sector in general and state-owned enterprises in particular are holding a huge resource. It is necessary to propose solutions for this sector to promote greater efficiency, affirming its leading, dominating, leading and spreading role in the economy, pioneering in new fields, important fields, and strategic fields," the Deputy Prime Minister commented.

Up to now, we have not really approached the theory, concept, and definition to determine what the State Audit includes and have not assessed the state economy in a comprehensive and overall way. This time, although it is a difficult task and with limited time, the Steering Committee carries out the task in the spirit of an inclusive and comprehensive approach to the state economy.

In particular, the Deputy Prime Minister requested to focus on the core, key points, correctly assess the current situation, existence, and limitations of the State Audit; analyze the causes and lessons learned. From there, propose directions, visions of the State Audit and new, breakthrough tasks and solutions.

Regarding the drafting of the Resolution, Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Chi Dung noted that the content must be concise, focused, specific, highly actionable, and must be implemented immediately upon issuance.

Based on the opinions and analysis of the members at the meeting, the Deputy Prime Minister shared his views on choosing option 1. The Ministry of Finance accepted the opinions and continued to clarify the contents. If there is any expansion, it will consider some elements of option 2, but option 1 is still the main one. At the same time, immediately after this meeting, a report on the meeting results will be submitted to the Prime Minister and the Steering Committee, and the Task Assignment Plan will be completed./.
