On the morning of October 9, continuing the 38th session, the National Assembly Standing Committee gave opinions on the Government's report on the results of implementing the socio-economic development plan.
Chairwoman of the National Assembly's Judicial Committee Le Thi Nga said that the real estate market is currently very complicated; land and apartment prices are pushed up very high, making it difficult for workers to access.
“The government needs to direct relevant agencies to manage prices well, helping the real estate market operate stably,” said Ms. Le Thi Nga, adding that it is necessary to speed up the issuance of documents guiding the implementation of three laws related to real estate that took effect on August 1.
In addition, the Chairman of the Judiciary Committee assessed that the gold market still has many potential risks, although recently the State Bank has directed commercial banks to sell gold and has shortened the gap between domestic and international gold prices.
Ms. Le Thi Nga proposed that the Government continue to direct the management and rectification of the gold market, ensuring that the domestic and international markets do not have too much price difference.
Another issue is the complicated situation of fraud in cyberspace, especially fraud via social networks. The government needs to increase propaganda to raise people's vigilance.
Participating in the discussion, many opinions at the National Assembly Standing Committee highly appreciated the results of implementing the socio-economic development tasks in 2024. However, many opinions also suggested analyzing and clarifying the difficulties and challenges in implementing this task.
According to Secretary General of the National Assembly and Head of the National Assembly Office Bui Van Cuong, it is necessary to "assess realistically, neither blackening nor embellishing".
The Secretary General of the National Assembly analyzed that the report devoted 49 pages to achievements and results, but only 5 pages to limitations. Is that really the case?
The Secretary General of the National Assembly said that it is necessary to analyze the difficulties more fully to balance achievements and limitations.
"In reality, in the picture of the economy, the current difficulties, especially the difficulties of enterprises, are not exactly as assessed in the report," Mr. Bui Van Cuong commented and suggested paying more attention to this content.
Speaking at the meeting, National Assembly Chairman Tran Thanh Man emphasized that this year we are expected to achieve 14/15 targets, which is a very good thing. Growth is expected to be around 6.8-7%, exceeding the National Assembly's resolution (6.5%).
"The National Assembly and the people are happy with our economic picture," the National Assembly Chairman emphasized.
However, according to the National Assembly Chairman, the real estate market still has many shortcomings. Through the delegation's and the National Assembly's supervision of the implementation of policies and laws on real estate market management and social housing development from 2015-2023, there are many problems.
Therefore, the National Assembly Chairman said that there needs to be a solution to prevent the downward trend of the real estate market combined with better control of the number of new houses being built, that is, supply exceeds demand or there is demand but no ability to pay.
"Currently, when building new houses in big cities, people still say that after construction, they do not exploit them and there are no people," the National Assembly Chairman stated the reality and proposed to overcome this situation.
