State Bank of Vietnam hosts Government Youth Union roundtable on delivering 8% GDP growth in 2025

The State Bank of Vietnam, as host institution, published an update on a Government Youth Union scientific roundtable that analysed the current economic situation and factors affecting the Government’s 2025 GDP growth target of 8% or more, and discussed how young officials can contribute to policy design and implementation. Participants included State Bank of Vietnam Deputy Governor Pham Tien Dung, who argued that policies issued by ministries and central agencies should be practical and supportive of socio-economic development, and urged younger staff to propose new ideas and take responsibility in a period of reforms and experimentation with new economic models. He also asked the Youth Union and State Bank of Vietnam’s youth members to focus on issues of direct public concern and develop concrete solutions, alongside contributions from economist Tran Dinh Thien and representatives of the Government Party Committee and Government Youth Union.
