Regarding the digital economy, by 2024, the country's retail e-commerce revenue will reach 25 billion USD, an increase of about 20%. Vietnam is among the top 10 countries with the highest e-commerce growth rate in the world. The annual growth rate of cashless payments increases by more than 50%, leading Southeast Asia.

With the theme “Comprehensive digital transformation to develop the digital economy, creating new momentum for economic growth”, in 2025, the National Committee on Digital Transformation will focus on directing the implementation of comprehensive digital transformation in all sectors and fields, contributing to achieving the economic growth target of 8-10%.

Discussing at the conference, representatives of leaders of ministries, branches and localities focused on analyzing the existing problems and limitations in the implementation of digital transformation and Project 06. According to the delegates, in 2024, although the rate of online records nationwide increased 2.5 times compared to 2023, the rate is still not high (reaching 45%). The deployment of national databases is still slow. People's digital skills are not uniform, especially people in rural, mountainous and disadvantaged areas do not have much access to digital services. Cybersecurity faces many challenges, online fraud, transnational high-tech crimes, increasingly complex cyber attacks, etc. Thereby, the delegates proposed many key solutions to continue implementing digital transformation to create breakthroughs, determined to complete the set digital transformation targets and tasks.
