The Prime Minister also mentioned the "six headwinds" that have emerged, namely global economic downturn, rising inflation, etc.; the consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic are still lingering; geostrategic competition, protectionism, lack of close connectivity; conflicts that threaten global food and energy security; developing countries have limited adaptability and resilience to external shocks; climate change, natural disasters, and epidemics are complicated and unpredictable.
Domestically, Government leaders assessed that there are more difficulties and challenges than opportunities and advantages.
He analyzed that the economy has a large openness but is still modest in scale, has limited competitiveness and resilience to external shocks, and is subject to dual impacts from external and internal factors.
Meanwhile, the backlog of long-standing problems is becoming more and more evident; many problems arise that need to be solved; the resilience of businesses is eroded in the context of increasing costs, decreasing orders, the international market showing no signs of recovery, and increasing competition.
Emphasizing the efforts in governance, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh said the most urgent and central tasks at present are to remove difficulties for businesses, create jobs and livelihoods for people, promote growth, stabilize the macro-economy, control inflation, ensure major balances, and step up the fight against corruption and negativity.
Assessing the efforts of ministries, branches and localities in both performing regular tasks and overcoming shortcomings that have existed over many terms, the Prime Minister said that thanks to that, the socio-economic situation in June continued to trend positively, better than May, and the second quarter was better than the first quarter in many areas.
"Major goals have been basically achieved, the macro economy is basically stable, inflation is controlled, growth is promoted, and major balances are ensured," the Prime Minister emphasized.
