Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh asked for giving priority to maintaining macroeconomic stability, controlling inflation, promoting growth and ensuring major economic balances in order to achieve double-digit growth in 2026.
He made the direction while chairing the first meeting of the Steering Committee for Macroeconomic Management and Administration held in Hanoi on December 29.
Public, government and foreign debts must be kept under control in line with National Assembly resolutions, while growth must be rapid yet sustainable, he said. He called for proactive, flexible, appropriate and effective monetary policy management, and directed the swift establishment and operation of a national gold trading exchange. He instructed the Ministry of Industry and Trade to take measures to boost exports, consolidate traditional markets and expand into new ones, while accelerating negotiations and the signing of free trade agreements with partners.
The committee reported that in 2025, Vietnam maintained macroeconomic stability, kept inflation under control and recorded estimated GDP growth of around 8%.
