Lê Minh Hưng said the government would increase budget revenue and reduce recurrent spending to support public investment, while raising funds through bond issuance, official development assistance and credit.

Public investment disbursement reached nearly VND 708.6 trillion, exceeding 74% of the plan.
In the first 10 months, registered foreign direct investment in Vietnam reached US$54.85 billion, up 74%, while disbursed FDI reached US$24.08 billion, up 13.1%. Total import and export trade exceeded US$1 trillion for the first time, and the trade surplus in October was US$7.31 billion. The consumer price index averaged 4.57% over the same period. The government aims for economic growth of more than 10% in 2026 while keeping inflation at about 4.5%.
