HÀ NỘI — Việt Nam is aiming for an average annual growth rate of at least 10 per cent between 2026 and 2030, according to a new directive from Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính on the socio-economic development plan for the next five-year period.
Directive No 31 requires that the targets set for 2026-30 must be clear, feasible and compliant with the 2021-30 national development strategy.
The plan focuses on restructuring the economy, accelerating industrialisation and modernisation, promoting science, technology innovation and digital transformation as key growth drivers, and maintaining macroeconomic stability while controlling inflation.
The directive identifies the private sector as a key pillar for growth and innovation, calling for support to promote the development of regionally and globally competitive private groups and small and medium sized enterprises.
Việt Nam also plans to invest in high-quality human resources development to meet international standards and the requirements of strategic industries, focusing on digital skills, foreign languages and STEM.
Infrastructure development remains a top priority, including the North-South expressway, key seaports and airports, urban railways in Hà Nội and HCM City, and two nuclear power plants in Ninh Thuận. — VNS

VIỆT NAM STEPS UP EXPORT TO ACHIEVE US$550-BILLION TARGET
Việt Nam is intensifying efforts to sustain export momentum in the second half of 2026 as the country works towards its target of US$550 billion in export revenue for the year, despite continuing uncertainties in global trade. Statistics show that exports reached $266.5 billion in the first six months, meaning the economy needs to generate around $245.5 billion more during the remainder of the year to meet the annual goal.

ASIA POWERS VIETNAM’S SHRIMP BOOM, LEAVING THE WEST BEHIND
In the first half of 2026, Vietnam's shrimp exports surpassed the US$2.3 billion mark, driven largely by booming demand from China and a lobster craze. But behind that growth figure lies a lopsided picture: Asia is carrying the load, while the U.S. and Europe have yet to break out. These days, a container of frozen shrimp leaving a Ho Chi Minh City port is more likely to cross the East Vietnam Sea to Shanghai than the Pacific to Los Angeles.
