The Prime Minister said that the 2021-2025 period is a difficult period with the raging COVID-19 pandemic, wars and conflicts around the world disrupting supply chains; in 2024 alone, storm No. 3 (Yagi) caused serious consequences, the sudden passing of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong... impacted the country's situation.
However, under the leadership of the Party, regularly and directly led by the Politburo and the Secretariat, headed by the General Secretary, the participation of the entire political system, the support and sympathy of the people and businesses, and the help of international friends, we have strived to overcome all difficulties, sometimes very fierce, and achieved impressive socio-economic development achievements.

The Prime Minister stated that in 2025, a new point is that the Government assigns growth targets to all localities, relevant ministries, state-owned enterprises, and sectors. If growth continues to be "average", it will be impossible to achieve the two 100-year development goals. The Central Government has issued Conclusion 123 with a requirement of at least 8% GDP growth in 2025 to create momentum, create force, and create momentum for the following years to achieve double-digit growth. To do this, the contribution of the business community, especially large enterprises, is needed.
The Government has directed Ministers and Heads of ministerial-level agencies to continue reviewing and reporting monthly on institutional problems to the competent authorities for amendment; such as exemption of registration tax for automobile manufacturing enterprises, exemption of VAT for enterprises, exemption and reduction of land rent, water surface rent, taxes, fees, and charges; resolving issues related to planning, land, procedures, licenses, etc. This requires the contribution of enterprises. Recently, new laws and regulations related to land and environment have been issued with the contribution of the business community.

Speaking at the Conference, Minister of Planning and Investment Nguyen Chi Dung said that after nearly 40 years of Renovation, Vietnamese enterprises have grown strongly in both quantity and quality with more than 940,000 enterprises in operation, more than 30,000 cooperatives and over 5 million business households. In 2024 alone, there will be over 233,000 newly established and re-operated enterprises, the highest number ever. Some enterprises have developed to reach regional and world levels; proactively participated and affirmed their position and role in global supply chains, contributing to enhancing Vietnam's position and prestige in the international arena.
The business force has increasingly affirmed its important position and role in socio-economic development, industrialization and modernization of the country; contributing about 60% of GDP, 98% of total export turnover and creating jobs for about 85% of the country's workforce.
In 2024, the business investment environment has also been significantly improved with many breakthrough reforms. Typically, the amendment of 04 Laws: Planning, Investment, PPP and Bidding and 9 laws in the financial sector have created favorable conditions for investment and business activities; supplemented regulations on special investment procedures, creating a "green channel" for project implementation, helping to reduce time and costs for businesses.
According to the Minister, we are at a very important time when the world is witnessing many major changes: the birth of new industries; changes in policies of major economies leading to shifts in investment flows; adjustments in trade structures, increased tariff barriers; armed conflicts; especially the risk of a global "trade war" is present. This poses both risks and challenges but also brings new opportunities and fortunes to countries.
The year 2025 is of special importance to the country. This is the final year of implementing the 5-year socio-economic development plan 2021-2025, the year of acceleration, breakthrough, and reaching the finish line. With the perspective of breakthrough development, proactively deciding the future, taking development to maintain stability, stability to promote development, our country has determined that the growth target for 2025 must reach 8% or more, creating a solid foundation for double-digit growth from 2026 to realize the aspiration and vision of the New Development Era and the strategic goal by 2030, our country will become a developing country with modern industry, high average income and by 2045, it must become a developed country, high income. To achieve double-digit growth, the non-state economic sector needs to increase by about 11%/year.
Faced with new development requirements, the business community in general and the private enterprise team in particular need to further promote their role and mission in the country's socio-economic development.
The development goals and requirements set out in the coming time require high determination, great efforts, drastic actions of the entire political system, and consensus and joint efforts of the business community.
In that spirit, the Ministry of Planning and Investment would like to suggest orientations and solutions such as reaching a high level of awareness about the particularly important role of enterprises in general, and private enterprises in particular, in socio-economic development. Identifying private economic development as one of the most important driving forces contributing to growth, increasing labor productivity and competitiveness of the economy.
Focus on perfecting institutions, identifying institutions as "breakthroughs of breakthroughs", creating the most favorable business environment for enterprises. Unleash all resources, use state resources to arouse, lead, and activate social resources.
Along with that, resolutely implement Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW, identifying science and technology, innovation and digital transformation as the top important breakthroughs, the main driving force for the rapid development of modern production forces. Develop mechanisms and policies to form and develop large-scale, national enterprises to lead the domestic value chain and expand participation in the international market; effectively promote the Investment Support Fund.
Promote consumer demand stimulation and expand the market for businesses. Create conditions for domestic businesses to produce domestic products with strengths, capable of maintaining and gradually dominating the domestic market.
Minister Nguyen Chi Dung said that the Prime Minister often directs and requires businesses to: "Pioneer in innovation; accelerate and make breakthroughs in growth; develop comprehensively, inclusively and sustainably; promote digital transformation, green transformation, creative economy; ensure labor safety and environmental sanitation; do a good job of participating in ensuring social security". This is the guiding principle for each business to strive to rise up and accompany the Government in realizing Vietnam's Aspiration in the new era.
At the same time, he expressed his belief that, with all the attention of the Government, the Prime Minister and the entire political system, the consensus and joint efforts of enterprises, the business community, and Vietnamese entrepreneurs will increasingly develop strongly, affirming their position and role more and more importantly in the country's socio-economic development. The success of entrepreneurs and businesses is also the success of the country.
