Hanoi: Prime Minister Le Minh Hung has urged a fundamental shift in governance mindset - from administrative control to proactive service and facilitation - in a bid to promote production, investment, and business activities, as the country pushes towards the double-digit growth target. The PM made the request while chairing a working session with the Ministry of Finance on April 29 to review performance in the first months of 2026, and define priorities and policy proposals for the months ahead.

According to Vietnam News Agency, the Prime Minister highlighted the importance of moving away from traditional administrative controls in order to create a more dynamic and supportive environment for economic activities. The session focused on evaluating the progress made during the initial months of the year and setting clear directives for the future to ensure sustained economic development.

The government aims to foster an environment conducive to investment and business by adopting a service-oriented approach. This transition is seen as essential to achieving the country's ambitious growth targets and enhancing its competitive edge in the global market. The ministry was tasked with identifying specific areas where regulatory reforms could facilitate easier business operations and attract more investment.

The Prime Minister's emphasis on governance reform aligns with broader national objectives of economic modernization and integration. As the country looks to bolster its economic standing, these proposed changes in governance are expected to play a critical role in driving growth and development.
