The government recently issued a crucial conclusion from the National Digital Transformation Committee’s summary meeting and Resolution 06, highlighting the significance of digital transformation in achieving rapid and sustainable economic development. Digital transformation is a top priority, requiring accelerated progress to meet the target of over 8% economic growth in 2025 and double-digit growth in subsequent years.

1. Accelerating Digital Transformation, Widespread Digital Technology Adoption: Digital technology must be widely implemented across all economic sectors to drive economic growth toward the established targets.
2. Digitalization of Economic Sectors: Digitizing economic sectors will dramatically boost productivity, quality, efficiency, and competitiveness for businesses.

3. Developing Robust Digital Infrastructure: Prioritizing and focusing on developing digital infrastructure is essential to establish a solid foundation for a digital economy.
4. Developing Digital Workforce: Equipping future generations with digital knowledge and skills is crucial to embrace the opportunities of the digital era.
5. Building a Digital Government, Society, and Citizenry: Enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of government management, serving citizens and businesses, through implementing a digital government, society, and citizenry.
Completion Deadline and Specific Requirements
The government requires ministries, branches, and localities to fulfill these tasks by June 30, 2025, with specific requirements:
- 100% of administrative procedures that qualify must be provided as fully online public services.
- 80% of administrative procedures must be processed online.
- 40% of the adult population must utilize online public services.

The government also encourages decentralization and delegation in handling administrative procedures, implementing zero-fee policies, and synchronizing population registration data with the national population database to simplify administrative procedures.
Transforming Mindset and Removing Obstacles
The government requires ministries, branches, and localities to lead by example, pioneering a new mindset and methodology for digital transformation. It also demands decisive action on lagging tasks and removal of obstacles and bottlenecks, adhering to the principle of “top-down leadership, but bottom-up organization, implementation, and obstacle resolution.”
Shifting public service delivery from a “request-grant” model to a proactive, service-oriented model, actively eliminating unnecessary procedures, and improving the quality of fully online public services are key priorities.
Conclusion
Digital transformation is an urgent requirement for economic development in the new era. The government has outlined specific requirements and a clear deadline, demanding concerted effort and cooperation from all ministries, branches, and localities to achieve the target.
