The parliament said such targets are set based on the estimated growth figures of 2020, the calculation of available resources, projections by international organisations and the situation in 2021.
The 6% growth target reflects the government’s determination to revive the economy after the Covid-19 outbreak is fully brought under control.
The National Assembly’s resolution states that 2021 is a highly significant year as Vietnam will hold its 13th National Party Congress and general elections as well as being the first year to implement the 2021-2030 socio-economic development strategy and the 2021-2025 socio-economic development plan.
Major tasks and solutions have been outlined to realise such targets, including continuing measures to prevent and reduce the impact of Covid-19 and other diseases as well as promoting the fine-tuning of market institutions.
Vietnam will also seek to continue restructuring its economy aligned with renewing the growth model, enhancing labour productivity and competitiveness on a foundation of science, technology and innovation.
