On the afternoon of October 9, at the Prime Minister's meeting with business representatives, General Director of Vietnam Electricity Group (EVN) Nguyen Anh Tuan said that in the period of 2021-2025, the total investment capital of the whole group is expected to reach VND 482,600 billion, equal to 100.75% of the 5-year plan assigned by the Prime Minister.
In 2024, it will reach VND 112,892 billion, equal to 110.8% of the plan, accounting for 70.56% of the total investment of 19 state-owned corporations and groups under the previous State Capital Management Committee. In 2025, it is estimated to reach nearly VND115,000 billion, equal to 105% of the plan.
Regarding power sources, EVN is actively implementing important major power source projects in the adjusted Power Plan VIII: Ninh Thuan 1 Nuclear Power Company, Quang Trach 1, 2, 3 Thermal Power Companies...
Although the Group is still facing difficulties, in the 2020-2025 period alone, the total budget EVN has directly invested in social security is 1,262.2 billion VND.
EVN is also setting ambitious goals from now until 2030 to become a strong enterprise, on par with large corporations in the world.
EVN will continue to innovate, modernize governance, develop and master science and technology, digital transformation to improve service quality and sustainable development, reach the top 3 in ASEAN and strive to become one of the 500 largest corporations in the world (Fortune Global 500) by 2030 if supported and supported by the Government and ministries.
Chairman of the Board of Directors of Hoa Phat Group Joint Stock Company (HPG) Tran Dinh Long suggested that when the enterprise sent petitions, he hoped the Government, ministries and branches would consider and resolve them more quickly, so as not to miss development opportunities.
The European Union has recently decided to increase steel import tax from 25% to 50% to protect the domestic manufacturing industry. This move will directly affect Vietnam's steel exports. Therefore, he recommended that the Government should have flexible and timely response policies to protect the domestic manufacturing industry.
With domestically produced products that meet demand, the group hopes that the State's projects and investment programs will especially prioritize the use of domestic goods.
"Currently, domestic enterprises are making great efforts to invest, expand production, and are ready to participate in national programs such as building social housing, developing infrastructure, housing for workers and students, etc.
We hope the Government will have more transparent mechanisms for placing orders, bidding and prioritizing Vietnamese goods in these projects. That will give the business community more motivation to develop more sustainably" - Mr. Long said.
Mr. Le Ngoc Son - General Director of the Vietnam National Industry - Energy Group (Petrovietnam) - suggested that the Government advise the Politburo to soon issue a new resolution on the development of state-owned enterprises and the state economy, in order to thoroughly remove institutional bottlenecks, creating stronger motivation for state-owned enterprises to develop breakthroughs.
He also suggested that the Government and the Prime Minister soon issue a decree on the operating mechanism and specific financial mechanisms for Petrovietnam, in line with the new model and stature.
