Looking forward to 2025, Mr. Pham Nguyen Hung - Director of the Department of Industry (Ministry of Industry and Trade) forecasts that in 2025, the world economy still has many potential unstable factors, especially the possibility of a strong resurgence of the trend of de-globalization, trade protectionism and trade wars; along with new geopolitical tensions. Domestically, industries have more market opportunities from receiving new foreign investment flows and large projects in key national sectors (especially in high-tech industries such as semiconductors, renewable energy, high-speed railways, etc.). " However, the bottleneck in the capacity of domestic industrial enterprises as well as the slow development of domestic supporting industries will create a major obstacle to these opportunities " - the leader of the Department of Industry expressed.

From the perspective of state agencies, to contribute to ensuring the industrial growth target of 9-10%, the leader of the Department of Industry said that the Industry and Trade sector will continue to proactively and effectively implement business support policies approved by the Government to remove difficulties and obstacles in production and business activities of enterprises - especially in key export industries such as textiles, leather - footwear and fundamental industries such as automobiles, mechanics, steel, etc.

To contribute to ensuring the implementation of the 2025 goals, industrial production will continue to proactively and effectively implement the macroeconomic policies in general and industrial development policies in particular of the Government and the Ministry of Industry and Trade, promote the operation of new industrial production projects to serve export and domestic consumption, creating more capacity for production development and goods sources for export.

Next, focus on consulting on perfecting institutions, policies and laws as a basis for new growth resources in industries in the short term as well as in the long term.

At the same time, effectively implement working programs with localities and existing business support programs to promote the growth momentum of industries in key economic regions, creating momentum to continue promoting industrial growth nationwide.

Regarding this content, Mr. Chu Viet Cuong, Director of the Industrial Development Support Center - Department of Industry shared that in recent times, some localities have strongly developed clusters and industrial linkage zones, in order to create conditions for enterprises to share resources, knowledge and technology. The development of these industrial linkage clusters has shown outstanding efficiency in production compared to other industrial zones, thanks to the concentration of many manufacturing enterprises in the same field.

“ Industry associations need to act as a bridge, providing information to supporting industry enterprises about each other’s production capacity and needs. In addition, the Ministry of Industry and Trade also promotes connecting domestic enterprises to participate in the supply chain of large global FDI enterprises investing in Vietnam… From there, helping industrial production accelerate in 2025, ” said Mr. Chu Viet Cuong.

The Ministry of Industry and Trade will continue to study, thoroughly grasp and seriously and effectively implement the Party's policies, the National Assembly's Resolutions and the Government's directions; promptly develop an Action Plan and focus on synchronously, drastically and effectively implementing in 2025 the tasks assigned in Resolution 01/NQ-CP of the Government on key tasks and solutions to implement the socio-economic development plan, contributing to the whole country's successful implementation of the programs and tasks set out.
