Restructruring the economy and growth model in Vietnam
11/6/16
Vietnam is now focusing on restructruring the economy and our
growth model, with emphasis given a reform of the investment model, restructure
the financial and banking systems and reform and reduce the number of
state-owned enterprises. One of the main focus is to support and develop the
business community.
Speaking at an online
conference attended by some 10,000 enterprises, representing the nationwide
business community, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc asserted that businesses
are “the driving force for national economic development,” and their legitimate
rights and business right will therefore be protected.
PM Phuc said all businesses
will have equal access to capital, natural resource, land, market and business
opportunities, irrespective of their scales and business models.
And Resolution No.35 recently issued by the Government reflects the high
level of determination to support and develop the business community,
which requires ministries and state management agencies to drastically
reform procedures to facilitate enterprises’ operations.
Chairman of the Vietnam
Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI) Vu Tien Loc said that this is
the Government’s first policy which has a long-term vision on business
development.
The resolution affirms the important role of businesses, particularly
private ones, in the nation’s industrialisation and modernisation cause,
which also serve as a driving force to enhance the economy’s
competitiveness in the integration process, Loc stated.
According to the business leader, what is the most impressive about the
resolution is the new way of thinking which emphasizes drastic action
and no backward-looking talks.
With the resolution, the Government is striving to be more conscientious
and professional in supporting the business community, said Loc.
Not only the VCCI or associations, but businesses themselves are also
encouraged to make recommendations on measures to address difficulties
in administrative and institutional reforms related to enterprises’
operations.
To put the resolution into reality, he suggested the Government and
ministries give detailed instructions and take specific action to reduce
administrative burdens and abuses of power at local offices, to create a
level playing field among businesses, he added.
Together with Resolution No.19 on improving the business environment and
increasing national competitiveness, Resolution No.35 will surely bring
about a lot of positive changes, helping the business environment in
Vietnam meet regional and international standards.
Resolution 35 has also set the goals of raising the number of
enterprises to 1 million in 2020 from 515,000 at present. The private
sector will contribute about 50 percent of GDP. The social labour
productivity will rise 5 percent per year. Every year, around 30-35
percent of Vietnamese enterprises will launch creative renovation
activities.
