Pioneer in attracting resources for development
According to Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, the key task of the Ministry of Planning and Investment is to coordinate the macro economy well, in which growth is the most important parameter, especially GDP growth. If the average growth rate is 6.5-7% in the coming years, the two 100-year goals (the 100-year goal of the Party's founding and the 100-year goal of the country's founding) will not be achieved.
To achieve the high growth target, the Prime Minister requested the ministry to implement 5 pioneering actions, including pioneering innovative thinking because innovative thinking creates resources.
We must identify institutions as the breakthrough of breakthroughs. Institutions that cannot keep up with development must be revised and supplemented. Institutions that already exist but have problems must be resolved.
Pioneer in attracting resources for development, state resources must be used effectively, attract private resources, foreign investment for national development.
Pioneer in innovation and economic restructuring.
And pioneer in building national databases, formulating policies based on databases, and developing intelligence based on Vietnamese databases.
Mergers require sacrifices from public servants
Regarding the policy of merging the Ministry of Planning and Investment with the Ministry of Finance, the Prime Minister affirmed that the Party has directed, the Government has agreed, the National Assembly has agreed, and the people have supported, so we only need to discuss and do, not back down.
The Prime Minister said that the merger of the two ministries will not eliminate any functions, but will reduce the number of focal points, staff, improve quality, and arrange for efficiency.
We put the people at the center, so all policies must be aimed at the grassroots. In the near future, there will be a policy to send civil servants to the grassroots. If 11,000 communes and wards agree to go, each grassroots level will need 3 comrades, which will require 33,000 positions.
Besides, in the process of merging and streamlining the apparatus, young staff must be trained and have their knowledge supplemented, this should be considered an opportunity. Those who have better opportunities will have favorable policies.
"Of course, there must be dedication and sacrifice from important cadres and civil servants. When merging and combining, the internal organization must control and arrange the internal affairs in a harmonious and reasonable manner in the spirit of tolerance and sacrifice," the Prime Minister affirmed.
According to the report of the Ministry of Planning and Investment, as of December 2024, the ministry has 23 units performing state management functions, including: 1 general department, 5 departments, 17 departments and equivalent, a decrease of 2 departments compared to the previous term.
In 2024, the Ministry will continue to reorganize public service units. Up to now, the Ministry has 27 public service unit focal points.
