The deputies said Ho Chi Minh City is Vietnam’s largest economic center with the largest population and the highest per capita income but the current mechanisms and policies don’t exploit its full potential.
Nguyen Thai Hoc, a deputy for Phu Yen province, said: “Specific mechanisms for Ho Chi Minh City will help resolve problems like its growing need for more schools, hospitals, and transportation. Some issues will require long-term planning.”
The deputies said making Ho Chi Minh City a pilot will motivate the country’s economic development.
“The city has the largest business resources and contributes one third of Vietnam’s GDP. We should further decentralize the municipal People’s Council,” said Duong Minh Tuan, a deputy for Ba Ria-Vung Tau province.
