A  Cabinet meeting to review the country’s socio-economic performance in the first five months of 2026 and discuss key tasks and solutions for the remainder of the year was held on June 3 morning  under the chair of Prime Minister Le Minh Hung.

During the meeting, the Cabinet also reviewed the implementation of the public investment plan, the national target program, and sci-tech, innovation, and digital transformation tasks.

Prime Minister Le Minh Hung tasked ministries and agencies to conduct thorough review of existing shortcomings, obstacles and bottlenecks, particularly in administrative reform and institutional development.

The Prime Minister was quoted by the Government News as saying at the meeting that delays in issuing legal documents, decrees and circulars could slow the institutionalization and implementation of major policies.

He urged ministries and sectors to accelerate the completion of outstanding legal documents and strengthen accountability among officials responsible for legislative and institutional affairs.

Regarding socio-economic development, the Prime Minister confirmed that the country’s macroeconomic stability has been maintained and inflation remains under control over the past five months.

However, he pointed out that growth in several sectors failed to meet expectations, while industrial production, agriculture, trade, services, exports and imports in some areas remain below target.

He requested ministries and agencies to identify the root causes of these shortcomings and propose stronger, more effective policy measures. Based on the meeting's conclusions, the Government will issue a resolution outlining specific tasks and solutions to boost growth in the remaining months of the year.

The Prime Minister also announced that Deputy Prime Ministers will work directly with ministries, localities and sectors to address bottlenecks against production and business activities. Particular focus will be placed on industry, agriculture, exports and key export products showing signs of slowing growth or decline.

Regarding the implementation of Politburo's Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW  on science and technology, innovation, and digital transformation, dated December 22, 2024, the Government leader commended the innovative approaches adopted by relevant agencies, particularly the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Science and Technology.
