The Resolution comprises five articles, including seven key target groups till 2025.

In the first group, the average labour output will increase by 6.5 percent annually while the total factor productivity will reach about 45 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP). The national competitiveness gap among ASEAN-4 countries will be narrowed, especially in terms of institutions, infrastructure and human resources.

In the second group, the State budget deficit will make up about 3.7 percent of the GDP on average. At least 10 percent of public non-buisness units will be reduced compared to 2021 while at least 20 percent of units will become financially autonomous.

In the third group, the total social investment capital will reach about 32-34 percent of the GDP. On-balance sheet bad debts of the whole system of credit institutions will be kept below 3 percent, towards gradually developing a professional debt market. All banks must meet Basel II standards.

In the fourth group, the total capitalisation of stock market will reach at least 85 percent of the GDP. The total outstanding debts of bond and corporate bond markets will account for at least 47 percent and nearly 20 percent of the GDP, respectively. The expenditure on science and technology will be no more than 1 percent of the GDP. The number of enterprises with technological innovation will rise by 15 percent annually on average.

There will be about 1.5 million enterprises, 60,000 – 70,000 of which will be on medium and large-scale in the fifth target group. The private sector’s contribution to the GDP will be around 55 percent while at least 5-10 national products will build their own international trademarks.

In the sixth group, the digital economy will account for 20 percent of the GDP. The ratio of digital economy in each sector will reach at least 10 percent.

By 2025, over 3,000 out of roughly 35,000 cooperatives will adopt technological advances in farm produce production and consumption. Some 35 percent of farming cooperatives will partner with firms in value chains.
