According to the Ho Chi Minh City Institute for Development Studies (HIDS), from April until now, a number of economic growth drivers have shown signs of improvement and continue to maintain recovery momentum. Ho Chi Minh City's industrial production index increased slightly, consistent with the monthly improvement. Moreover, the tourism industry maintains a fairly stable increase, which will have a major spillover impact on many market service industries such as transportation, accommodation and food, travel, art activities, and entertainment.
In addition, consumption of goods maintained its growth momentum quarter on quarter and improved in the past 8 months. It is expected that the last months of the year will continue to maintain momentum thanks to the increase in base salary.
Since then, HIDS has set three economic growth scenarios for Ho Chi Minh City in 2023: 6.08 percent, 6.47 percent and 7.46 percent. However, with the current global and national economic context, the city's economic growth is likely to increase by 6.08 percent.
To maximize the motivation and overcome difficulties, HIDS proposed that the city needs a breakthrough policy from the leadership to promote the administrative apparatus to implement the Resolution 98 of the National Assembly on piloting several specific mechanisms and policies for the development of Ho Chi Minh City. In addition, the institute suggested acceleration of the general planning adjustment in the southern metropolis to 2040 with a vision to 2060 and establishment of the socio-economic master plan of Ho Chi Minh City for the period 2021-2030 with a vision to 2050.
Last but not least, the city also needs to drastically disburse public investment to speed up the progress of site clearance, compensation, relocation support and resettlement for projects with land recovery; strengthen inspection and supervision in the field of public investment and stimulation of domestic consumption demand.
