The Prime Minister stated that one of the solutions to accelerate and break through is to remove legal obstacles and perfect the institutional system to mobilize and use resources effectively for development, especially resources from public-private cooperation, foreign investment, and private sector resources, with public investment taking the lead. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen decentralization and delegation of authority, avoid the “asking – giving” mechanism, along with appropriate allocation of resources, improved implementation capacity, enhanced inspection and supervision to reduce negative behavior, hassle, and bureaucracy, and reduce administrative procedures and compliance costs for agencies, units, people, and businesses, thereby promoting growth.
According to the Government, at the upcoming 8th session of the National Assembly (in October 2024), the Government will submit a law amending many laws and some other laws to remove obstacles and mobilize all social resources, especially non-state resources for development.
The Prime Minister requested that ministers and heads of ministerial agencies take direct charge; allocate resources and assign officials with qualifications and dedication to the task of building and perfecting laws and institutions. Especially, they must fully attend and provide opinions at law-making meetings according to the Government’s working regulations.
