Under Directive 31/CT-TTg, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc asked ministries, ministry-level agencies, Government-run agencies, economic groups, and centrally-run cities and provinces to design their own plans to implement socio-economic plans in 2020 and forecast on domestic, regional and global situation in the next period, according to VOV.

Targets in the plans must be aligned to the socio-economic development strategy for the 2021-2030 period as well as the five-year plan for 2021-2025.

Accordingly, PM Phuc asked to determine the development objectives of the 2021 plan in line with the strategic objectives of the 10-year socio-economic development period 2021-2030 and the 5-year socio-economic development plan for the 2021-2025 period.

In the context of complicated global and domestic situation, the main objective of the 2021 socio-economic development plan is to strive for Vietnam's economic growth rate (GDP) to increase by about 7%. The 2021 state budget revenue must be elaborated according to current policies and regimes.

The targeted increases for each locality will depend on its specific conditions, characteristics and development speed.
