On the morning of February 27, at the Government Headquarters, a meeting of the Government Standing Committee working with State-owned enterprises took place.
Speaking at the opening of the conference, Central Party Committee member and Deputy Prime Minister Ho Duc Phoc said that the goal set for this year is to achieve a minimum GDP growth rate of 8%.
At this conference, the Government Standing Committee will work with state-owned enterprises to listen, discuss and discuss mechanisms, policies and solutions to remove difficulties and obstacles in the production and business process.
The goal is to maximize resources, innovate growth drivers and promote new growth drivers, contributing to accelerating the economy, making a breakthrough in 2025, towards the country's sustainable development goals.
In that spirit, the Deputy Prime Minister suggested that delegates should frankly raise difficulties, obstacles as well as issues that need support from the Government to create more motivation for state-owned enterprises in promoting more effective production and business.
It is necessary to analyze and evaluate the role of state-owned enterprises in undertaking major tasks and breakthrough fields to promote strong growth in 2025.
With their potential and position, state-owned enterprises need to focus on investing and exploiting large projects and key projects, as well as solving the country's strategic problems in the field of infrastructure and key economic sectors.
The Deputy Prime Minister suggested that state-owned enterprises boldly propose remaining difficulties and obstacles so that the Government can focus on resolving them.
For issues under its authority, the Government will directly resolve them; for issues beyond its authority, it will report to competent authorities for timely consideration and handling.
The set goal is: At least 30% of administrative procedures will be simplified or cut; production and business costs will be reduced by about 3%; other costs such as compliance costs, unofficial costs also need to be reduced; at least 30% of unnecessary business conditions will be abolished.
We need to strive to make Vietnam's investment environment in the top three ASEAN countries within the next two to three years.
State-owned enterprises need to propose solutions to promote their pioneering role, while closely coordinating with large private corporations and groups in the fields that the country needs.
These key sectors include renewable energy, high-tech industry, artificial intelligence (AI), digital transformation, as well as innovative economic sectors to promote new growth models.
In particular, it is necessary to focus on exploiting and promoting new growth drivers, creating technological breakthroughs to improve the competitiveness of the economy.
The Deputy Prime Minister stated that in previous meetings with the Government Standing Committee, state-owned enterprises have implemented many important solutions and achieved positive results.
However, there are still difficulties and problems that need to be resolved. Therefore, the Government hopes to listen to specific suggestions so that the Government can effectively implement solutions to achieve the economic growth target of 8% in 2025.
The Government and the Prime Minister have assigned members to be in charge of and inspect the implementation of solutions to promote economic growth in localities.
The Government is committed to always standing side by side with and accompanying the business community in general and state-owned enterprises in particular, and being ready to support the removal of difficulties and obstacles to facilitate production, business and investment activities.
