On January 6, 2026, the Politburo issued Resolution No. 79-NQ/TW on the development of the state-owned economy (Resolution 79). This document not only reaffirms the Party's consistent viewpoint on the leading role of the state-owned economy, but also raises the issue of "repositioning" the meaning of that role in the context of a socialist-oriented market economy entering a new stage of development, with higher demands for efficiency, competitiveness, and integration.
