Secondly, Vietnam needs a mechanism to attract high quality human resources. The investment in socio -economic infrastructure should be implemented synchronously. At the same time, Vietnam promotes three traditional growth motivation such as investment, consumption and export.
For fast, sustainable, economic stability, and inflation in macroeconomics, Mr. Ngan also raised recommendations. In particular, the fiscal policy needs to be tight, frequent spending, prioritizing development investment capital but paying attention to public investment efficiency, not investing, unfinished, wasteful … Especially in the current period, it is necessary to focus on taking advantage of public assets, public land to put into use, exploit or auction to have capital for development investment … Debt may have to increase but do not increase public debt.
On the monetary policy, according to Mr. Ngan, it is necessary to flexibly implement according to the goal of growth and inflation.

Money supply and credit growth are controlled, not to increase too high as the period of 2000-2010, which can cause macroeconomic instability.
