Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has issued Official Dispatch No. 23/CD-TTg of March 16, 2026, outlining key tasks and solutions to further promote exports in 2026 amid complex regional and global developments, aiming to fulfil the annual growth target of over 10%.
The PM calls on ministries, agencies and localities to maintain macroeconomic stability, control inflation and support growth while ensuring major economic balances.
Authorities are also required to promptly address difficulties faced by businesses in import and export activities, with the aim of diversifying markets, products and supply chains.
The PM also instructed relevant agencies to prepare for discussions with the United States to promote the signing of a balanced reciprocal tax agreement.
The Ministry of Industry and Trade is tasked with ensuring stable supplies of petrol and oil for production and consumption. It will also work with localities and businesses to maximise benefits from existing free trade agreements, including those with the European Union, the United Kingdom, the Eurasian Economic Union and the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership.
The ministry will accelerate negotiations for new trade agreements, particularly with partners in Latin America, the Middle East and Pakistan, while expanding into emerging markets such as Halal, African and Middle Eastern markets.
Meanwhile, the State Bank of Vietnam has been asked to manage exchange rates flexibly and improve businesses’ access to credit for production and exports. Authorities will also upgrade transport infrastructure, seaports and logistics centers to reduce costs and support export growth.
