Pressure to direct and manage the macro economy is still great.
In his concluding remarks, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh highly appreciated and basically agreed with the reports and opinions and requested the Ministry of Finance and the Government Office to absorb and complete the reports and draft Resolution of the meeting, and soon submit them for signing and promulgation.
The Prime Minister emphasized that the main reason for the results achieved was thanks to the correct, timely, close and comprehensive leadership of the Party Central Committee, directly and regularly led by the Politburo and the Secretariat, headed by the General Secretary; the coordination and accompaniment of the National Assembly, the participation of agencies in the political system; the correct, drastic, practical and effective direction of the Government, the Prime Minister, ministries, branches and localities; the support and active participation of the people, the business community and the cooperation and assistance of international friends.
On behalf of the Government, the Prime Minister expressed his deep gratitude to the Central Committee, the Politburo, the Secretariat, the General Secretary, the leaders of the Party and State, and agencies in the political system; acknowledged and commended the ministries, branches, and localities for their outstanding efforts, overcoming difficulties and challenges, focusing on drastic direction and achieving important and quite comprehensive results in all fields in the first 9 months of the year, contributing to the successful implementation of all targets for the whole year 2025, especially striving for growth of over 8% in 2025 and for the 5-year period 2021-2025; thereby creating momentum for double-digit growth and rapid, sustainable development in the coming years.

In addition to the basic results achieved, the Prime Minister pointed out limitations and shortcomings such as traditional growth drivers not meeting expectations (disbursement of public investment capital has not met requirements; private investment has not improved much; exports are facing difficulties; consumption growth rate is slowing down, etc.); while new growth drivers need time to be effective (such as digital economy, green economy, circular economy, artificial intelligence, etc.).
Disbursement of public investment capital requires more effort. The pressure to direct and manage the macro economy is still great, especially in terms of interest rates, exchange rates, and inflation due to external fluctuations, especially the impact and influence of tariff and trade policies of other countries. The real estate market situation has gradually improved but there are still many difficulties and problems, and housing prices are high. The situation of smuggling, trade fraud, counterfeit goods, and fake goods is still complicated in some places, especially at the end of the year.
The implementation of the two-tier local government model has some shortcomings, especially in staff arrangement, network connection, digital data, and digital transformation. The lives of a segment of the population are still difficult; natural disasters and floods are forecast to continue to be complex and unpredictable. Non-traditional security issues, especially cyber security, and the security and order situation in some areas are complicated.
According to the Prime Minister, the shortcomings and limitations have both subjective and objective causes, due to the complicated fluctuations in the world and the region; the global economy, trade and investment have slowed down; risks have increased; natural disasters and floods have caused serious consequences; some agencies, units, cadres, civil servants and public employees have not been really proactive and positive, there is still a situation of avoiding and pushing away tasks and being afraid of responsibility; some mechanisms and policies still have shortcomings that have not been resolved; decentralization and delegation of power are sometimes confusing; many long-standing projects have not been completely resolved...

Analyzing the lessons learned, the Prime Minister emphasized: We must have a long-term vision, think deeply and do big things, maintain our courage - be steadfast in our goals - grasp the situation - respond to policies promptly, flexibly and effectively; have high determination, make great efforts, take drastic actions, complete each task; assign tasks to ensure "6 clear": Clear people, clear work, clear time, clear responsibility, clear authority, clear products and "3 no's": Do not say no, do not say difficult, do not say yes but do not do; at the same time, we must balance and arrange resources to carry out the tasks.
Along with that, promote decentralization, decentralization and reform of administrative procedures - focus on rectifying discipline, promoting the sense of responsibility - implementing timely and strict rewards and discipline.

Implement measures to strengthen management, orientation and control of housing and land prices.
Regarding the work in the coming time, the Prime Minister stated that the fourth quarter must accelerate and make a breakthrough in the context of generally favorable opportunities and difficulties and challenges intertwined, but with more difficulties and challenges than opportunities and advantages; targets that have been completed must be completed better, targets that are almost achieved must be completed, absolutely not subjective, negligent, or lose vigilance.
The goal is still to maintain macroeconomic stability, control inflation, promote growth, ensure major balances of the economy, control public debt, government debt, foreign debt, budget deficit, especially promote increased revenue, save expenditure to focus on investment and development.
