Nguyen Tan Dung was publicly rebuked last week by the Communist Party following a meeting of its central committee. Some reports suggested that he had survived a leadership challenge.
The growth of Vietnam's once-booming economy has slowed to around 5 percent this year. It has been dragged down by debt-ridden banks and inefficient state-owned enterprises.
Dung told the national assembly on Monday he takes personal responsibility for heavy losses run up by Vinashin and Vinalines, two state-owned shipping sector companies.
He pledges that reforms aimed at cutting those and other state-owned companies down to size will speed up in 2013.
Dung predicts growth of 5.5 percent next year.-The Philippine Star (October 22, 2012 1:01PM)
