Other goals include harmonizing growth targets and inflation control, ensuring a balanced economy, maintaining macro-economic stability, and addressing social issues.

Lawmakers heard a number of proposals and reports on a draft Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Law.

“It’s necessary to ensure the law’s stipulations match international commitments in investment and trade and conform to the rules of the market economy. It’s important to select investors transparently, use efficiently all private and state resources for PPP projects, and create new momentum for national socio-economic development,” said Minister of Planning and Investment Nguyen Chi Dung.

Deputies said Vietnam needs substantial public investment in infrastructure, energy, education, and health care.
