What is the solution for the country to grow by double digits?
The Head of Government stated that the new point in 2025 is that the Government assigns growth targets to all localities, relevant ministries, branches, state-owned enterprises, and sectors.
If growth continues at an "average" pace, it will be impossible to achieve the two 100-year development goals.
