Deputies proposed solutions to restructuring the economy in line with renewing the growth model with priorities given to restructuring state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and public investment.

: "Stronger measures are required to restructure SOEs. I propose the government submit a report to the National Assembly asking for continued issuance of government bonds in the 2016-2020 period to increase resources for development investment with priority given to upgrading transport infrastructure. The government should allocate more money from state budget to support businesses with projects specialized in agriculture and rural areas, while establishing regional agricultural connectivity mechanisms.'
