The government has submitted a policy allowing private enterprises to undertake key projects.

On the morning of May 15, continuing the program of the 9th Session, Minister of Finance Nguyen Van Thang, authorized by the Prime Minister, presented the draft Resolution of the National Assembly on a number of special mechanisms and policies for private economic development.

Minister of Finance Nguyen Van Thang said that the draft resolution consists of 7 chapters and 17 articles stipulating a number of specific mechanisms and policies, especially for private economic development; applicable to enterprises, business households, business individuals and other relevant organizations and individuals.

Mr. Thang said that to achieve the goal by 2030, the country will have at least 20 large enterprises participating in the global value chain. The draft resolution stipulates two policies for this group of enterprises.

The first group of policies: Ordering, limited bidding, and designation of contractors to implement key and important national projects, including high-speed railways, urban areas, foundational and spearhead industries, energy infrastructure, etc.

Accordingly, the State expands the participation of private enterprises in key and important national projects through direct investment or investment in the form of public-private partnership or cooperation models between the State and the private sector in accordance with the provisions of law.

"Authorized persons and investors shall choose the form of ordering, limited bidding, designated bidding or other forms according to the provisions of law to implement strategic projects, national key projects, high-speed railways, urban areas, foundational industries, spearheads, energy infrastructure, digital, green transportation, national defense, security, urgent tasks, ensuring publicity, transparency, quality, progress, efficiency and responsibility," said Mr. Thang.

Second policy group: Support the formation and development of medium and large enterprises and private economic groups of regional and global stature.

The Resolution stipulates that the State allocates budget for two programs to support medium and large enterprises and private economic groups according to two programs: Developing 1,000 typical enterprises in science and technology, innovation, digital transformation, green, high-tech industry and support; reaching out to international markets (Go Global), supporting markets, capital, technology, brands, distribution, logistics, insurance, legal advice, dispute resolution and connection with multinational corporations.

The Resolution also provides many policies to support businesses in accessing land, production and business premises, and financial support, credit and public procurement.

Vietnam currently has nearly 450 industrial parks with a total area of ​​93 thousand hectares, but small and medium enterprises still have difficulty accessing them due to high rental prices. Therefore, the draft Resolution proposes policies to support these enterprises in accessing land.

For example, local budgets are used to support investment in building infrastructure for industrial parks, industrial clusters, and technology incubators, including compensation, resettlement, site clearance, and traffic, electricity, water, drainage, wastewater treatment, and telecommunications works.

Newly established industrial parks and industrial clusters must have a minimum area of ​​20 hectares/zone, or 5% of the total land area invested in infrastructure for high-tech enterprises, small and medium enterprises, and start-ups. If after 2 years of completing the infrastructure, there is no enterprise renting it, the investor can lease it to another enterprise.

Meanwhile, to remove bottlenecks in capital access and increase financial capacity for the private economy, the draft Resolution proposes a number of solutions to support low-interest loans for green, circular, and ESG projects; financial support through the Small and Medium Enterprise Development Fund, tax incentives, and incentives in contractor selection, etc.
