Why should the development of the electronics industry be prioritized ?
After more than 35 years of implementing the renovation policy, our country has become a middle-income developing country. However, economic growth is not sustainable, tends to decrease gradually over a 10-year cycle and risks falling behind, falling into the middle-income trap. Internal resources of the economy are still weak, labor productivity is low, and improvement is slow; independent capacity, low autonomy, heavily dependent on the foreign direct investment sector. Unsustainable industrial development, low added value; the structure of industries has been slowly transformed, mainly focusing on the simple mining, processing and assembly industries with high labor intensity; have not yet developed fundamental industries that play a leading role, are able to compete and deeply participate in regional and global value chains.
Resolution No. 23-NQ/TW dated March 22, 2018 of the Politburo on orientations to develop national industrial development policies up to 2030, with a vision to 2045 defining the development of information technology industry , the electronics industry is the key path, and aims to reach the world's advanced level by 2030, meeting the requirements of the fourth industrial revolution in order to create a technological foundation. numbers for other industries. This is also the path that East Asian countries have taken before in the process of industrialization such as Japan, Korea, Taiwan and more recently China.
The reason that the information technology and electronics industries play a particularly important role in leading the structural transformation of a country's industries in the process of industrialization is because it possesses important economic characteristics, including: (1) increased demand as real income per capita increases, (2) high potential for productivity improvement, (3) spillover effects high compared to other economic sectors. These are also objective economic criteria for selecting priority industries for development.
Resolution No. 52-NQ/TW dated September 27, 2019 of the Politburo on a number of guidelines and policies to actively participate in the Fourth Industrial Revolution defining the information technology and electronics industries. - Telecommunications is one of the industries with a high level of readiness that needs to be prioritized for development.
Decision No. 157/QD-TTg dated February 1, 2021 of the Prime Minister promulgating the National Product Development Program to 2030 identifying the information technology, telecommunications and electronics industries as industries are given priority to consider and select products for investment and development.
