Mr. Tran Viet Anh - Chairman of the Board of Directors, General Director of Nam Thai Son Import-Export Joint Stock Company - said that Ho Chi Minh City needs transparent policies, clear planning, and specific identification of high-tech development spaces, logistics, seaports, real estate and auxiliary services of the International Finance Center. When these bottlenecks are removed, the double-digit growth target is completely feasible.
I think the solution lies in the determination of the business community, the support and policies of the Government. In particular, it is necessary to build policies associated with the strengths of Vietnamese businesses..." - Mr. Tran Viet Anh shared.
According to Mr. Pham Quang Anh - Director of Dony Garment Co., Ltd., what businesses expect is a stable institutional foundation, with a clear roadmap, sufficient forecasting capacity to feel secure in investing and developing long-term.
The business community highly appreciates the guidelines and Resolutions of the Party, the National Assembly and the Government in the past, believing that the orientation and policy framework have hit the core issues of the economy. What businesses expect most is that these guidelines are implemented consistently, actively and closely to reality to soon go into life.
When the spirit of implementation is placed in the right focus, with an attitude of serving the people and accompanying businesses, institutional reform will be effective, creating a solid foundation for the private economy to develop sustainably.
Mr. Dinh Hong Ky - Vice Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City Business Association, Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City Construction and Building Materials Association, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Secoin Joint Stock Company - said that one of the contents that the Ho Chi Minh City business community is particularly interested in is the companion role of the government and the administrative apparatus. According to him, investment - construction - land procedures are still a major "block", directly affecting the project implementation progress and the ability to seize market opportunities. Businesses want the process of resolving procedures to be reformed in a transparent direction, shortening time, unifying handling points, and reducing overlapping between levels and sectors.
In addition, the issue of accessing capital, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises, continues to be a top concern. Many businesses still face difficulties in meeting bank loan conditions or accessing preferential support packages. According to Mr. Ky, policies after the Congress need to be designed in a direction that is easy to access, clear, closely following practical needs, avoiding the situation of "policies are there but businesses do not reach".
The business community said that the GDP growth target of 10% or more in the period 2026-2030, as reported by the 13th Central Executive Committee submitted to the 14th Congress, is a major challenge but completely grounded.
Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Hoa - Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City Business Association - said that to achieve the targeted growth rate, the core is to concretize the Resolutions into action programs and have the synchronous involvement of the entire system. 2026 is the year marking the beginning of a new term, from the term of the Party, National Assembly to the People's Councils and People's Committees at all levels. This is a great advantage for the entire political system to start with a new spirit.
