HANOI: Vietnam’s Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh (pic) said the government will strive for economic growth of about 8% next year, significantly higher than the parliament’s goal for 2025.
While the National Assembly set a gross domestic product growth target of 6.5%-7% for next year, Chinh said the government sees 2025 as "the year of acceleration” and will strive for about 8% growth, according to a statement on the government’s website. It will prioritise promoting economic growth while controlling inflation and ensuring the budget deficit and public debt are within reasonable limits, the statement said.
