According to the planned schedule, on November 12, Minister of Finance Ngo Van Tuan and Minister of Science and Technology Vu Hai Quan will answer questions from deputies at the 2nd session of the 16th National Assembly. The session will address two main subject groups: finance and science and technology.

Minister of Finance Ngo Van Tuan will answer questions regarding the allocation, management, and disbursement of public investment capital in 2026 within the framework of the medium-term public investment plan for the 2026-2030 period. The session will also discuss ODA, preferential loans, investment capital under the PPP model, and tax management for e-commerce and digital platform businesses. During the questioning process, the Minister of Finance will be accompanied by the Governor of the State Bank of Vietnam and leaders of relevant ministries.

Minister of Science and Technology Vu Hai Quan will report on the implementation results of the Politburo's Resolution No. 57 on breakthroughs in the development of science, technology, innovation, and national digital transformation. The discussions will also cover issues such as the lack of data connectivity between state agencies, synchronization problems hindering the execution of administrative procedures, the management of artificial intelligence, information security, and the improvement of citizens' digital skills.

According to the schedule announced by the National Assembly Office, the questioning time has been reduced from 2.5 days to one day in order to allocate more time to legislative work. This session holds the distinction of having the largest legislative workload since the beginning of the term, with 47 bill drafts and resolutions to be deliberated.
