Regarding the economy, the Prime Minister emphasized that priority will be given to promoting growth associated with macroeconomic stability, controlling inflation, ensuring large balances and high surpluses; and keeping deficit and public debt within safe and reasonable limits.
" Assign specific tasks and targets on growth rates to localities, especially large cities and localities that are growth poles, to strive for a national growth rate of about 8% in 2025 (and create momentum to strive for a double-digit rate in the 2026-2030 period) ," the Prime Minister mentioned.
