(Dan Tri) - The Government and the Prime Minister have had many meetings with businesses, but this is the first time the Government Standing Committee has had a separate meeting with businesses to discuss solutions for national development.
On the morning of September 21, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh chaired a meeting of the Government Standing Committee working with large enterprises on solutions to contribute to the country's socio-economic development. Since the beginning of the term, the Government and the Prime Minister have had many meetings with domestic and foreign enterprises, but according to Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, this is the first time the Government Standing Committee has worked on a specific topic with enterprises. This demonstrates the attention of the Party and State leaders to private enterprises - an important driving force of the country's economy. The head of the Government said that the private economy currently contributes about 45% of GDP, generates about 30% of the State budget revenue, attracts about 85% of the workforce; the corporate income tax contribution rate accounts for about 34%.

After nearly 40 years of renovation, Vietnam has risen from a backward economy to become one of the top 40 leading economies, with a trade scale in the Top 20 countries in the world, and is an important link in 16 free trade agreements with 60 key economies in the region and the world. The size of Vietnam's economy increased from 26.3 billion USD in the early years of renovation to more than 430 billion USD in 2023. Vietnam is considered by the United Nations and international friends as a bright spot in poverty reduction, constantly improving the material and spiritual life of the people. However, the new context is also posing new requirements in the country's economic development such as: green and sustainable growth; attracting investment and creating breakthroughs for pioneering industries such as semiconductors, AI, green hydrogen; growth based on science - technology, innovation... Therefore, at this Conference, the Government Standing Committee wants to listen to businesses' sharing about their operations, difficulties, obstacles, and proposed solutions. The Government Standing Committee will also listen to businesses' thoughts and visions to find solutions to the country's major problems, in order to achieve the goal of turning Vietnam into a developing country with modern industry and high average income by 2030 and a developed country with high income by 2045.
