General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong asked delegates attending the 8th Central Conference to discuss the necessity and correctness of implementing the new salary regime from July 1, 2024.
Speaking at the opening of the 8th Central Conference on the morning of October 2, General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong said that the consideration and giving of opinions on socio-economic issues and the state budget for 2023 and 2024 must be placed in the context of the world situation with many unpredictable and unprecedented changes. Difficulties and challenges are more numerous and greater than opportunities, advantages and forecasts. This "has a very serious negative impact" on the implementation of Vietnam's economic and social goals and tasks.
Vietnam continues to face double impacts due to negative external factors in its highly open economy. The long-standing internal shortcomings and weaknesses of the economy continue to be exposed more clearly and severely in the process of overcoming the consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The General Secretary asked delegates to be frank and pay attention to the difficulties and limitations that have been and will be faced, such as the unstable macroeconomic situation due to pressure from foreign markets. The financial, monetary, real estate, stock and corporate bond markets are still facing difficulties and potential risks.
Production, business activities and workers' lives in many areas are facing difficulties. The resilience of businesses has been eroded after the Covid-19 pandemic. Some mechanisms, policies and legal regulations have been slow to be supplemented, amended, completed or have not been strictly implemented. Some officials are afraid of responsibility, afraid of making mistakes, shirking responsibility and avoiding solving work.
From the above analysis, the Central Committee clearly and correctly identifies development viewpoints, guiding ideology, general goals, some important basic targets, tasks and solutions for the remaining months of this year and next year.
The General Secretary also asked the Central Committee to discuss the necessity and correctness of implementing the new salary regime from July 1, 2024.
Resolution 27 of the Central Committee aims to reform the salaries of cadres, civil servants, public employees, armed forces and employees in enterprises from July 1, 2021. Over the past two years, due to many adverse impacts, especially the Covid-19 pandemic, the roadmap for synchronous salary policy reform has not yet been implemented.
In mid-September, the Government assigned the Ministry of Home Affairs to collect the opinions of the Politburo and complete the draft report to the National Assembly on the roadmap and plan for salary reform. Currently, the budget has saved 500,000 billion VND to prepare for salary reform in the next three years (2024-2026).
Regarding the summary of 10 years of implementing the Resolution of the 11th Central Committee on several social policy issues , the General Secretary said the country has achieved many important results and achievements.

To achieve the goals set by the 13th Party Congress, the General Secretary requested that the Central Committee focus on discussing the situation, causes and lessons learned; the necessity and correctness of issuing a new Central Resolution on this particularly important issue.

The world today faces many opportunities and challenges under the impact of the fourth industrial revolution. Artificial intelligence and some new technological achievements have the ability to replace humans, creating a huge amount of information and knowledge.
This context requires Vietnam to strongly develop the role and contribution of intellectuals - the national spirit, to meet the requirements of the fourth industrial revolution and promote the cause of innovation, industrialization and modernization of the country.
