Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính has signed Official Dispatch No. 06/CĐ-TTg dated January 24, 2026, calling for the acceleration of key tasks and solutions to achieve the economic growth targets for 2026.
The dispatch emphasizes that 2026 holds special significance as the first year of implementing the 2026–2030 five-year socio-economic development plan, marking the beginning of a new development era for the country and paving the way for the successful implementation of the Resolution of the 14th National Party Congress.
The Prime Minister requires ministries, agencies, local authorities, state-owned groups, and corporations to urgently and effectively implement the tasks and solutions set out in Government Resolution No. 01/NQ-CP dated January 8, 2026. At the same time, agencies must proactively monitor international and domestic developments, enhance analytical and forecasting capabilities, adopt flexible and timely policy responses, and avoid passivity or unexpected disruptions.
Regarding fiscal and monetary policy, the Ministry of Finance is tasked with continuing an appropriately expansionary fiscal policy while strengthening fiscal discipline and budgetary management. This includes ensuring accurate, sufficient, and timely revenue collection, expanding the tax base, and preventing tax losses—particularly in e-commerce, food services, and retail sectors. State budget revenue in 2026 is targeted to increase by at least 10% compared to the estimated performance in 2025. Policies on tax, fee, and land-rent reductions and extensions will continue to support citizens and businesses, especially small and medium-sized enterprises.
The State Bank of Vietnam is directed to flexibly manage interest rates and exchange rates, stabilize the foreign exchange market and the value of the Vietnamese dong, and channel credit into production, business activities, priority sectors, and key growth drivers. Efforts will focus on handling weak credit institutions, controlling non-performing loans, and urgently researching proposals to establish a national gold trading exchange.
State-owned groups and corporations are required to strengthen their role as economic pillars, improve governance efficiency, and strive for growth of 10% or higher in 2026.
Regarding investment, the Ministry of Finance, in coordination with ministries, sectors, and localities, is instructed to urgently finalize the 2026 capital plans for national target programs and submit them to the Prime Minister for budget allocation by February 2026. Public investment disbursement is to be accelerated from the beginning of the year, with a target of achieving 100% of the assigned plan, while decisively addressing obstacles related to site clearance and construction material supply.
Efforts will be intensified to promote and attract large-scale, high-tech FDI projects, particularly in semiconductors, artificial intelligence, and digital technologies. At the same time, the legal framework will be improved to resolve long-standing and delayed projects. A national one-stop investment portal with a shared database connected to local authorities is to be completed by February 2026.
In terms of consumption, the Ministry of Industry and Trade will implement comprehensive stimulus measures, especially during the Lunar New Year period, to ensure supply-demand balance, stabilize the market, control prices, and combat smuggling, trade fraud, and counterfeit goods. The Ministry will develop a Government Action Program to implement Conclusion No. 207-KL/TW dated November 10, 2025, of the Party Central Committee Secretariat on consumer protection, to be submitted to the Government by February 15, 2026. Coordination with relevant ministries and local authorities will ensure the successful organization of the Spring Fair in early February 2026 to boost consumption.
Regarding exports, ministries and agencies are tasked with diversifying export markets, effectively leveraging the 17 free trade agreements already signed, expanding into new markets such as Halal, the Middle East, Latin America, and Africa, and resolutely addressing obstacles to remove the European Commission’s IUU “yellow card” by April 2026.
The Government identifies science and technology, innovation, digital transformation, human resource development, and new economic models as key growth drivers in the coming period. The Ministry of Science and Technology, together with other ministries, sectors, and localities, is instructed to urgently implement approved science, technology, innovation, and digital transformation projects, promptly resolving difficulties to effectively implement Politburo Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW.
The Ministry of Education and Training is tasked with researching breakthrough mechanisms to develop national universities and leading higher education institutions, while accelerating the development of boarding school systems in border communes.
The Government will operate the international financial center in Vietnam effectively, complete special policy mechanisms, and pilot a digital asset trading exchange to attract global capital.
Finally, the Prime Minister requires ministries and agencies to focus on implementing the nine breakthrough resolutions of the Politburo, promote the commercialization of research outcomes, develop national digital infrastructure, ensure cybersecurity, and accelerate green transformation across key sectors.
