Issued on June 24, 2023, Resolution 98/2023/QH15 stipulates mechanisms and policies designed specifically for the city in investment management, State finance and budget, urban governance, natural resources and environment, priority fields calling for strategic investors, sci-tech, innovation, and the administrative apparatus of both Ho Chi Minh City and Thu Duc city.

PM Chinh hailed the municipal Party organization, authorities, and people for their tireless efforts in fulfilling 2023 political tasks with essential results. Its socio-economic landscape exhibited robust month-on-month and quarter-on-quarter growth, surpassing the growth rate in 2022.

He noted that the city has completed 10 of the 22 assigned tasks linked to the resolution. Still, he stressed that there exists a noticeable gap between the current pace and the Government and the city's expectations.

Ministries, agencies, and Ho Chi Minh City need specialized units and personnel with responsibility, qualification, and passion for dedicating more time and effort to implementing the resolution, he urged.

The PM assigned specific tasks to his deputies and ministries to accelerate the resolution's implementation, with Deputy PM Tran Luu Quang tasked with directing the drafting of a Government decree on the decentralization of State management in specific sectors of the city, an imperative step slated for completion this month.

Deputy PM Tran Hong Ha was required to formulate a decree on mechanisms and policies to facilitate rooftop solar power installation in administrative agencies and public service units, with a tight deadline for the second quarter.

Specific tasks about expressway projects were also assigned to Deputy PMs Ha and Le Minh Khai.

The municipal People's Committee was told to urgently research and propose an overall investment scheme for urban railway infrastructure. Chairman of the committee Phan Van Mai said the city will submit the scheme in Q1.

As the Lunar New Year (Tet) approaches, the Government leader reminded the municipal authorities to ensure a happy, safe, and warm Tet for every citizen.
