On January 6, 2026, the Politburo issued Resolution No. 79-NQ/TW on the development of the state economy (Resolution 79). The document not only consistently reaffirms the Party’s viewpoint on the leading role of the state economy but also raises the issue of “repositioning” the substance of that role in the context of a socialist-oriented market economy entering a new stage of development, with higher requirements for efficiency, competitiveness, and integration.
