Goal: Achieve 100% disbursement of the annual plan for 2025 to stabilize the macroeconomy, boost growth, ensure economic balances, and create jobs.
Key Actions:
- Prioritizing this as a crucial political task, linked to cadre evaluation (Regulation 366 of the Politburo).
- Expediting the implementation of key national public investment projects.
- Focusing on site clearance, construction progress, and resolving issues related to land, resources, mining permits, and extraction of materials (stone, sand, gravel).
- Strictly inspecting and penalizing improper mine allocation that leads to resale and price inflation.
- Strengthening the effectiveness of special task forces led by provincial People's Committee chairpersons.
- Replacing underperforming or obstructive officials.
- Strictly handling corruption in public investment management.
Digital Transformation: The Ministry of Finance is to implement digital transformation in supervision, inspection, and progress monitoring of disbursement.
Transparency: Weekly public disclosure of disbursement progress and rates for ministries, central agencies, and localities via mass media.

2. Support for Flood-Affected Individuals:

Interest Rate Reductions: Banks are reducing interest rates by 0.5% to 2% for 3 to 6 months for approximately 24,000 customers with outstanding loans in the trillions of dong. This is part of broader measures to support over 250,000 borrowers affected by historical floods, with outstanding loans nearing 60,000 billion dong.
Housing Reconstruction: The Ministry of Construction is developing standardized designs for disaster-resilient housing. Localities are urgently rebuilding and repairing homes for flood victims to ensure they have housing before the Lunar New Year.
Business Recovery Loans: Programs are being implemented for loans to restore production and business after storms, with a scale of approximately 70,000 billion dong.
Support for Typhoon No. 13 Victims: The Vietnam Bank for Social Policies is finalizing procedures to propose a 2% interest rate reduction for 3 months to the Prime Minister for approximately 1 million customers affected by Typhoon No. 13. The estimated interest reduction is nearly 300 billion dong.
Financial Solutions for Disaster Recovery: The Ministry of Finance will coordinate with relevant ministries and localities to implement urgent financial solutions for disaster consequences and long-term infrastructure recovery with enhanced resilience to future natural disasters.

Law Enforcement and Crime Prevention

1. Traffic Safety and Enforcement:

Distracted Driving (Phone Use): Hanoi traffic police are intensifying strict enforcement against the dangerous habit of using mobile phones while driving.
- Statistics: In a recent period, nearly 370 violations were detected in Hanoi within just three days.
- Consequences: Examples include a container truck driver losing control and crashing into a median and a house, and a motorcyclist carrying a child swerving into a truck while on the phone.
- Enforcement: Traffic police are issuing citations for persistent offenders.
Drunk Driving Consequences: An incident depicted a drunk individual unable to control their behavior, causing difficulties for a ride-hailing driver and preventing them from being transported.

2. Fraud and Scams:

Real Estate Fraud (Phu Quoc): Bui Quang Huy, from Hung Yen, was additionally charged and detained for asset appropriation. He illegally surveyed and drew maps for LHD in Phu Quoc, knowing the land lacked proper documentation and project permits. This aided LHD in selling plots in eight fraudulent projects, defrauding over 300 victims of more than 432 billion dong. Nguyen Van Nguyen and Dang Van Linh, masterminds of LHD, were previously arrested.
Visa Scams: A man was defrauded of nearly 600 million dong through online visa services advertised on social media. He transferred money to prove financial capacity but was then blocked by the scammer. He reported the incident to Hanoi police.
- Public Advisory: Citizens are warned not to trust unverified job offers abroad via social media, not to transfer money or provide personal information to strangers, and to contact licensed businesses for overseas employment.

3. Illegal Gambling:

Forest Gambling Ring (Nghe An): Nghệ An provincial police arrested 14 individuals involved in an illegal "sóc đĩa" (a type of dice game) gambling ring in a remote forest area. The group frequently changed phone numbers, vehicles, and locations. Seized items included over 65 million dong in cash and mobile phones.

National Security and Political Stability

Anti-State Activities: On December 4, 2025, the Security Investigation Agency of the Ministry of Public Security initiated criminal proceedings, issued arrest warrants, and conducted searches against Pham Quang Thien (born 1978), former Director of the Center for Multimedia Technology and Communication under the Government Portal. He is accused of fabricating, storing, disseminating, and propagating information and materials aimed at opposing the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, as stipulated in Article 117 of the Penal Code. The Supreme People's Procuracy approved these actions. Investigations are ongoing.

Disaster Relief and Reconstruction

Regional Impact: Neighboring provinces like Bac Ninh, Hai Phong, Ninh Binh, and Thai Nguyen also experienced "bad" air quality, while Hung Yen and Phu Tho had "poor" air quality.
Forecast: The pollution is expected to continue today and tomorrow due to southeasterly winds bringing moisture, leading to fog and high humidity, which facilitates the accumulation of fine dust near the ground.
Health Risks: Fine dust concentrations can be harmful to health across all age groups.

2. Tropical Depression:

Forecast: A tropical depression is expected to enter the East Sea by tomorrow afternoon, passing over the Spratly Islands and gradually weakening.
Current Location: The depression is currently located in the central Philippines with a strength of level 6 (39-49 km/h winds), moving west at 15 km/h.
Sea Conditions: From the morning of December 8, the southeastern sea area, including the northeastern Spratly Islands, will experience increasing winds of level 6, gusting to level 8, with waves 2-4 meters high, indicating rough seas.
Advisory: Vessels are advised to monitor updates on the tropical depression to adjust their routes and avoid adverse weather conditions.
