Dear Congress,
In 2012, continuing to implement the Resolution of the 11th National Party Congress and the resolutions of the National Assembly, the entire Party, the entire army, the entire people, all sectors, all levels and the business community made efforts and achieved some remarkable results in curbing inflation, stabilizing the macro-economy, ensuring social security, maintaining reasonable growth associated with growth model innovation and economic restructuring.
However, the country is still facing many difficulties and major challenges. Domestically, economic stagnation is evident; economic growth is low; the risk of high inflation is still latent; market management and price management for some goods are not good, negatively affecting people's lives...
In the world, economic growth decline tends to spread; the public debt crisis in Europe has not yet subsided; trade disputes, economic and political conflicts show signs of increasing... That situation requires us to be very determined, to have drastic and effective solutions to achieve the goal of stabilizing the macro economy, ensuring social security, improving people's lives; maintaining political stability, consolidating national defense and security, ensuring social order and safety, creating momentum for sustainable development in the following years.
At this session, the National Assembly will consider and decide on the following important issues:
