  "account": "Prime Minister Le Minh Hung revealed a report detailing Vietnam's progress towards meeting key socio-economic targets for 2026, with 14 out of 15 targets expected to be met or surpassed. This marks the initial year of implementation for the Resolution of the 14th National Party Congress, which serves as a crucial foundation for Vietnam's new phase of development. In a challenging global and regional setting, the proactive engagement across the political system has led to substantial socio-economic achievements, including high economic growth, controlled inflation, and significant balances. The economy has shown remarkable expansion, with GDP growth accelerating quarter over quarter, reaching 9.01 percent for the nine-month period and a notable 9.95 percent surge in the third quarter. The state budget revenue is projected to be VND3.06 quadrillion (US$118.17 billion), a 14 percent increase, while public debt is anticipated to be around 33-34 percent of GDP, falling within safe thresholds. The service sector experienced significant expansion, with a record 17.7 million foreign arrivals and a 14.5 percent increase. Total foreign trade turnover grew by 30.4 percent, reaching US$1.11 trillion for the first time. The Government leader emphasized the need for continued focus on achieving double-digit economic growth and macroeconomic stability while controlling inflation, particularly in the remaining months of 2026.",
