Ho Chi Minh City businesses place their trust in new policies
The Ho Chi Minh City business community considers the policies of the 14th Party Congress as a launching pad for businesses to develop strongly, contributing to realizing the growth target of 10% or more set by the Congress Resolution.
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 demarcation of high-tech development spaces, logistics, seaports, real estate and supporting services of the International Financial 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, policies must be built that are linked to the strengths of Vietnamese businesses...” - Mr. Tran Viet Anh shared.
According to Mr. Pham Quang Anh - Director of Dony Garment Co., Ltd., what businesses desire is a stable institutional platform, with a clear roadmap, sufficient for forecasting to feel secure in investing and developing in the long term.
The business community highly appreciates the policies and resolutions of the Party, National Assembly and Government in the past time, believing that the orientation and policy framework have hit the core issues of the economy. What businesses expect most is that these policies will be implemented consistently, actively and closely to reality to soon go into life.
When the spirit of implementation is placed in the right focus, with the attitude of serving the people and accompanying businesses, institutional reform will be effective, creating a solid foundation for the sustainable development of the private economy.
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 accompanying role of the government and the administrative apparatus. According to him, investment - construction - land procedures are still a major "bottleneck", 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 focal points for handling, and reducing overlap between levels and sectors.
In addition, the issue of access to 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, post-Congress policies need to be designed in a direction that is easy to access, clear, closely following practical needs, avoiding the situation of "policies exist 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 set 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 to start a new term, from the term of the Party, National Assembly to the People's Council and People's Committees at all levels. This is a great advantage for the entire political system to start with a new atmosphere.
