PM Phuc applauded efforts made by ministries, agencies and localities in economic restructuring, thus helping fulfill socio-economic tasks in 2017.
He urged greater endeavors to realize resolutions adopted by the Party Central Committee and the National Assembly, as well as Government Resolution No. 27 on economic restructuring, considering this as a key task in tandem with reforming the growth model.
The government leader emphasized the need to complete modern and integrated market economy institutions, and create the best possible conditions and environment for businesses, including the private economic sector.
It is necessary to reform methods of regional economic connectivity and promote the role of coordinating agencies from the stage of making plans to the stage of supervising the deployment of regional connectivity activities, he said.
Public investment should yield fruits along with maximizing non-state resources, he said, stressing that the private economic sector must become a driver of the economy.
PM Phuc also ordered the acceleration of equitization and divestment of state capital and improved operation of state-owned enterprises.- (VNA/VLLF)
