The overall goal of the plan is to maintain stability and ensure major balances of the economy, control inflation and promote growth, continue restructuring the capital city’s economy, consolidate and develop new growth engines, as well as improve the internal capacity, resilience and adaptability of the capital’s economy.

Fighting corruption, negativity and wastefulness will also be addressed, as will national defence, the local military and social order and safety.
Nguyen Thanh Xuan of Ha Dong District said that next year the economy is forecast to face difficulties, so the city needs specific solutions in supporting local state-owned enterprises to strengthen production and promote revenue generation for the city’s budget.
Duy Hoang Duong of Hoai Duc District said the city should boost the planning of the education and health networks to suit the development of the capital and build autonomy mechanisms for these two fields.
