Government leader details 15 categories of projects, proposals to stimulate growth in the private industry sector
Vietnam's Politburo has issued Resolution No. 68-NQ/TW, outlining a series of measures and priority tasks aimed at enhancing the private economic sector. The resolution focuses on addressing institutional and legal bottlenecks and promoting competitiveness.
Key Measures
- Resolving institutional bottlenecks: The resolution calls for reviewing and amending legal documents related to taxes, fees, land access, natural resources, interest rate support, human resource training, administrative penalties, competition policies, science and technology, and digital transformation. The goal is to transform institutional frameworks into competitive advantages.
- Streamlining administrative procedures: The Government was tasked with drawing up a roadmap to streamline administrative procedures, reducing both the time and cost involved. Greater decentralisation and delegation of authority to local governments in handling administrative matters was instructed.
- Encouraging localities: Localities were urged to improve and finalise their development planning, promote new investment projects, and ensure that investor access remains equal, transparent, and open.
Priority Tasks
- Formulating and implementing action plans: At ministerial, sectoral, and local levels, action plans are to be developed to execute assigned tasks, identify institutional and legal bottlenecks, and propose practical solutions.
- Enhancing inspection, supervision, and government performance: The focus is on effective implementation, with a focus on the actual growth of enterprises and their contributions to GDP, innovation, labor productivity, and prosperity.
- Engaging the private sector actively: The resolution emphasises the importance of engaging the private sector actively and improving local support to businesses. Confidence in the resolution’s policies is optimistically viewed, but still lacking in some local support areas.
The Prime Minister, Phạm Minh Chính, outlined 15 groups of tasks and solutions for the resolution on private economic development. The national steering committee oversees 56 designated tasks, with 11 prioritized for completion by the end of 2025.
In the first seven months of 2025, over 108,000 new businesses were established. The Government's Resolution No. 139/NQ-CP details the implementation plan of the National Assembly's document, Resolution No. 198/2025/QH15, which supports the growth of the private economic sector.
Eleven ministries and agencies have been designated as leads for the remaining 11 tasks, which must be fulfilled by the end of the year. The Government Office was tasked with drawing up a roadmap to streamline administrative procedures, reducing both the time and cost involved.
