The property market and corporate lending are key issues that need to be addressed, and the Cabinet has scheduled a meeting of ministers this month to resolve current issues, he told a meeting Thursday.
The property market accounts for around 11% of GDP and has a close relationship with many industries that create a large number of jobs.
But since last year it has been facing difficulties due to tightened credit, excessive supply and lack of transparency.
Many projects have been suspended due to a cash shortage.
Chinh warned the economy faces risks this year with exports seeming to slow down while the industrial production index in January declined by 8% year-on-year.
It is difficult to attract foreign investment, while recovery programs have been delayed, he said.
He called on the Ministry of Finance to quickly complete a bill that will amend regulation of bond issuances, both domestically and internationally.
Work on large public projects needs to be accelerated to achieve the target of disbursing VND700 trillion ($29.85 million) this year, he added.
