Strategic competition among major countries intensifies. The reciprocal tariffs of the United States and the reactions of some countries are increasing the risk of a "global trade war" and diminishing the prospects for global economic growth.

2. Shortcomings and limitations
In addition to above basic achievements, our country still faces many difficulties and challenges. The macroeconomic stability is maintained, but there are still inherent risks. The growth targets for 2025 and beyond face significant challenges, especially due to the impact of the reciprocal tariff of the United States. The processing, manufacturing, export industries, FDI attraction, private investment, consumption, and domestic employment are facing difficulties. The interest rate environment for loans has decreased, but the overall economic demand remains weak. The number of enterprises withdrawing from the market remains high. The disbursement rate of public investment is lower compared to the same period.
Financial and currency markets still face many difficulties and pressures, which affects the efficiency of capital supply to the economy. Difficulties and obstacles in the real estate market are gradually resolved but the progress is slow. Despite strong directives to improve institutional and legal frameworks, there are still shortcomings. Some regulations, administrative procedures, business requirements, standards, and technical regulations remain complex leading to prolonged processing times and increased costs for procedures. The livelihoods of some people are still difficult, especially people living in remote, mountainous, ethnic minority, border, and island areas. The security, social order, crime in some areas, high-tech crime, and online fraud pose complex challenges.
