At the regular press conference for the second quarter of 2026 of the Ministry of Finance on the morning of June 17, answering press questions about assigning double-digit growth targets to the state-owned enterprise sector, Ms. Nguyen Thu Thuy - Deputy Director of the State Enterprise Development Agency (Ministry of Finance) - said that this agency has advised the Ministry of Finance to promptly issue guiding documents to send to the owner's representative agency on the assignment and monitoring of the implementation of growth targets.
According to Ms. Thuy, the assignment of targets is implemented on the principle of being linked to the specific growth targets of each industry, sector and locality, and at the same time, based on the actual capacity of each enterprise to determine the appropriate level.
Depending on the characteristics of each enterprise, you can choose targets such as output, consolidated revenue, parent company revenue or parent company investment targets to evaluate and assign tasks," Ms. Thuy said.
With the role of representative agency of state capital ownership in 20 corporations, general corporations and state-owned enterprises under its management, the Ministry of Finance has completed the assignment of growth targets to enterprises under its authority.
For 7 corporations and general corporations under the authority to assign targets of the Prime Minister, the Ministry of Finance has summarized, reviewed and reported, proposing growth rates suitable to the operating conditions and characteristics of each enterprise.
Exchanging more about this content, Deputy Minister of Finance Nguyen Duc Chi said that the implementation and assignment of growth targets is a task that is both difficult and favorable.
The difficulty is that the target is very high, requiring great effort, but the advantage is that we have proactively implemented it right from the beginning of the year," Mr. Chi said.
According to the Deputy Minister, the contents under the responsibility and authority of the Ministry of Finance have been completed. Localities have been assigned targets based on careful assessment of potential, resources and development capacity. For corporations, general corporations and state-owned enterprises, target assignments have also been implemented.
For the business sector of other economic sectors, especially private enterprises, the growth targets are reflected in the overall indicators and general development forecast scenarios of the economy," Mr. Chi said.
Leaders of the Ministry of Finance assessed that the economic situation in the first months of the year recorded many positive signals and still maintained the determination to implement the set growth target.
The Ministry of Finance is developing many different operating scenarios, but no scenario sets a growth target lower than 10%. We are steadfast in the two-digit growth target and will focus on synchronously implementing solutions to realize that goal," Deputy Minister Nguyen Duc Chi affirmed.
According to Mr. Chi, the Ministry of Finance and ministries and sectors will continue to support localities, businesses and people through appropriate policies and solutions to create favorable conditions to maximize resources for development.
The important thing is to proactively adapt and be flexible in all scenarios. Current fiscal solutions are designed to support growth and will continue to be strongly implemented in the coming time, contributing to completing the economic growth target of 10% in 2026," Deputy Minister Nguyen Duc Chi emphasized.
