Under the leadership of the Party and the consensus of the people, in the 2021-2026 term, the Government has made efforts to overcome difficulties, closely coordinated, and successfully completed the assigned tasks, achieving many comprehensive and outstanding achievements.
The period 2021-2022 takes place in a particularly difficult context when the COVID-19 pandemic left heavy consequences for all aspects of socio-economic life.
In that context, the Government has clearly shown a flexible and drastic management capacity, giving the highest priority to macroeconomic stability, inflation control, production and business recovery, and ensuring social security.
Fiscal and monetary policies are implemented synchronously and promptly, both supporting businesses and people to overcome difficulties and maintaining major balances of the economy. This is the "holding pace" stage, creating an important premise for the economy to soon return to the growth trajectory.
Stepping into the 2023-2024 period, when the economy gradually recovered, the focus of management was strongly shifted to institutional reform and investment in long-term growth drivers.
The Government focuses on accelerating the development of national strategic infrastructure, especially key transportation systems, energy infrastructure and digital infrastructure. In parallel with that are efforts to remove "bottlenecks" in mechanisms, policies, administrative procedure reform, and improve the investment and business environment.
National digital transformation is comprehensively promoted, gradually forming a digital government, digital economy and digital society, thereby improving management efficiency, transparency of operations and serving people and businesses better and better.
From mid-2024 to 2025, a prominent milestone is the policy of reforming the organizational structure and national governance.
In 2025, when the term gradually closes, a series of strategic decisions continue to be issued, aiming for a longer-term vision for the period 2025-2030 and beyond.
Policies on science and technology, innovation, private economic development, ensuring energy security, environmental protection and climate change response are identified as key pillars.
Besides economic development, social policies, education, health and care for people's lives are always placed at the center. The spirit of "leaving no one behind" is concretized by practical programs and policies, contributing to strengthening social trust and creating a long-term stable foundation.
Dr. Can Van Luc - Member of the Prime Minister's Policy Advisory Council - used 2 words to describe the outstanding highlights of 2025, which are: "Impression" and "Foundation".
Impressive because in the context of more risks and challenges than opportunities, Vietnam still achieved the "target triangle".
First, streamlining the organization - apparatus, merging ministries - sectors, provinces - cities, operating the 2-level local government model, which is supported and expected by the people and businesses.
Many breakthrough mechanisms and policies in key areas (science - technology, institutional reform, private economic development, innovation in education - training and health, along with many specific mechanisms for some major provinces and cities...) have been promulgated, creating a solid political foundation for the development goals in the coming time.
Second, economic growth reached 8.02%, belonging to the high group in the region and in the world, the macroeconomy is basically stable, inflation is at a fairly low level (3.31%), major balances, energy security and social security are guaranteed.
Third, many unprecedented policies are issued to celebrate important events of the country or respond to and overcome the consequences of natural disasters and floods, such as giving cash to people, accelerating campaigns to build dilapidated houses, new houses and repair old houses for people after storms and floods.
The "foundation" is because all the impressive results mentioned above are creating a foundation for 10% or more growth in the 2026-2030 period and continuing the high growth momentum later.
