RESOLVES:
The year 2016 is the first year of implementing the 2016-2020 five-year socio-economic development plan. This year also sees many major events of the country such as the XIIth Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam, election of deputies to the XIVth National Assembly and deputies to People’s Councils of various levels for the 2016-2021 term. Along with elements favorable for national socio-economic development, many difficulties and challenges are predicted in 2016. The world and regional economies are further undergoing complicated developments with low recovery rate and latent risks. Increasingly fierce competition among economies, geopolitical risks in the world, complicated developments of sea and island sovereignty-related disputes in the East Sea and unpredictable changes in the financial and monetary markets, crude oil prices, and natural disasters, etc. may exert negative impacts on the national economic development. The formation of the ASEAN Community in late 2015, together with the conclusion and implementation of free trade agreements (FTAs), opens up many development opportunities but also creates great difficulties and challenges to be overcome in 2016.
The National Assembly set the overall objective of the 2016 socio-economic development plan as “To maintain macro-economic stability, strive for an economic growth rate higher than that of 2015, attach importance to improving growth quality and assuring sustainable development. To accelerate the implementation of strategic breakthroughs, restructure the economy in association with renewal of the growth model, and increase productivity, quality, effectiveness and competitiveness. To remove difficulties for enterprises and promote production and business. To develop culture, practice social progress and equality, ensure social security, improve social welfare and raise people’s living standards. To effectively manage and use natural resources, proactively prevent and control natural disasters, respond to climate change and protect the environment. To boost administrative procedure reform, enhance administrative and social order and discipline; improve the efficacy and effectiveness of state management; and create remarkable changes in corruption prevention and control, thrift practice and waste combat. To enhance national defense and security, perseveringly and firmly protect national sovereignty; to assure political security and social order and safety. To increase the effectiveness of external affairs and international integration.”
