The Ministry of Finance determined that it was necessary to prioritize scientific research tasks in order to assess the situation, practical requirements, scientific basis for proposing innovation directions and the consequences of policies on the economy based on regularly updated economic data to evaluate the effectiveness of the policy.

It is also necessary to promote coordination with relevant agencies, organizations and individuals in the building and perfecting financial legal institutions; focus on collecting opinions of experts, scientists and people from all walks of life, but the collection must be selective as well as selecting international opinions and experiences suitable to Vietnam's circumstances.
