The application of global minimum tax rules from 2024 under the guidance of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) is urgent to both proactively gain additional tax rights and create a favorable investment environment to retain and attract foreign investment flows. At the same time, in the Joint Resolution of the Session, the National Assembly agreed to allow the Government to draft a Decree regulating the establishment, management and use of the Investment Support Fund from global minimum tax revenue and other legal sources, reporting to the National Assembly Standing Committee for consideration and comments before promulgation in 2024 to stabilize the investment environment, encourage and attract strategic investors, multinational corporations and support domestic enterprises in a number of areas that need investment incentives in the spirit of Resolution No. 50-NQ/TW dated August 20, 2019 of the Politburo on orientations for perfecting institutions and policies, improving the quality and effectiveness of foreign investment cooperation by 2030 and Resolution No. 41-NQ/TW dated October 10, 2023 of the Politburo on building and promoting the role of Vietnamese entrepreneurs in the new era.

The National Assembly delegates analyzed and discussed thoroughly major and important issues, especially proposed new policies, contributing many profound opinions for research agencies to absorb, ensuring full and timely institutionalization of the Central Committee's resolutions; thoroughly grasping the principle: issues requiring practical requirements, clear, proven correct by practice, with high consensus, should be resolutely implemented; issues that are unclear, with many different opinions, should continue to be researched, summarized in practice, and piloted when authorized by competent authorities.
Regarding the draft Law on Land (amended) and the draft Law on Credit Institutions (amended): due to the special importance and complexity of these two draft Laws, the National Assembly has discussed and contributed many very valid opinions, and has carefully considered many aspects and decided to consider and approve them at the nearest Session to have more time to study, absorb and clarify issues with many different opinions, ensuring the quality and feasibility of these laws after they are promulgated.
