The top legislator made the request while chairing a session with the Standing Board of the municipal Party Committee on the implementation of the NA’s Resolution No. 98/2023/QH15 on piloting some special mechanisms and policies for the city’s development, and Resolution No. 57/2022/QH15 on the investment plan for the Belt Road No.3 project in the southern largest economic hub.
The leader highlighted the Party and the State’s attention to HCM City’s socio-economic development, national defence and security, and political system building.
He hailed the city’s socio-economic achievements in the past nine months, with a growth rate of 6.8%, saying to achieve the yearly target of 7.5%, it must reach 9% in the fourth quarter.
The NA leader said the legislature has approved laws relating to land, housing, real estate, and credit institutions, asking HCM City to review its issued documents to put the laws in place.
The southern largest economic hub was asked to raise its competitiveness, productivity, and human resource quality to prepare for the municipal Party Congress, and all-level Party Congresses, towards the 14th National Party Congress, and the elections of the 16th NA and all-level People’s Councils for the 2026 – 2031 term.
Regarding public investment disbursement, Man asked HCM City to trace the root causes of its sluggishness over the past nine months as the rate stood at only 20.2%.
At the working session, Chairman of the municipal People’s Committee Phan Van Mai reported the city’s socio-economic situation, as well as issues regarding major projects on Belt Road No.4, urban railway, and international financial centre, among others.
Delegates touched upon how to tangle knots in the implementation of the resolutions in HCM City./.
