Timely removal of difficulties is to help businesses unlock investment resources for development. In the photo: Production at DragonTextiles 2 high-tech fiber factory (Thang Long Import-Export Investment Joint Stock Company).
Difficulties and challenges surround
Thai Binh currently has more than 11,000 operating enterprises. Entering 2025, many enterprises in the province have started very early with a bustling production atmosphere right from the beginning of the year in key industries such as textiles, footwear, electronics, and construction materials. The positive signal is that orders have returned, and the labor force has been mobilized relatively fully. However, according to the Provincial Business Association, new "bottlenecks" have also begun to appear: High input costs, fluctuating exchange rates, harsh US import tariff policies, lack of technical workers, lack of clean premises, and overlapping administrative procedures directly affecting production, business, investment activities and competitiveness of enterprises. Mr. Vu Huy Dong, Chairman of the Board of Directors, General Director of Damsan Joint Stock Company, Vice Chairman of the Provincial Business Association, shared: Current difficulties come not only from the market but also from institutions and the investment environment. Every production and business sector has its own difficulties. If the government does not intervene strongly, businesses will find it difficult to recover quickly.
Reality also shows that many small and medium enterprises (accounting for the majority of the provincial business community) do not have enough leverage to expand production or participate deeply in the supply chain. Meanwhile, high input costs and a narrowing consumer market have caused many enterprises to face difficulties and risk having to reduce production scale. Some specific difficulties that enterprises raised at the dialogue include: inadequate procedures for adjusting clean water prices, lack of land to invest in water reservoirs for production, environmental pollution in craft villages has not been thoroughly treated, and training of high-quality labor resources has not yet met practical requirements... These difficulties are hindering enterprises in investment, production, and business, losing golden opportunities for recovery, promoting development and integration.
After only 1 year, the garment factory project of Thai Ha Garment Enterprise (May 10 Corporation) came into operation thanks to the active support of departments, branches and localities in investment procedures.
Towards green economy , digital economy
In addition to reflecting on the difficulties and obstacles that need to be resolved, the provincial business community also sets out a long-term vision, focusing on promoting digital transformation, adapting technology and building a green and sustainable growth model. In reality, pioneering the implementation of the zero carbon program from converting environmentally friendly materials, increasing the recycling rate, using green energy, investing heavily in technological innovation and automation machinery will help businesses improve production capacity, increase competitiveness, dominate the market, have many production and export orders, and grow revenue strongly. However, most of the province's businesses are small and micro-sized, so their capacity to invest in transformation is limited, and they cannot turn challenges into development opportunities like medium and large-sized businesses.
Mr. Do Van Ve, Chairman of the Provincial Business Association, said: The province should have a policy to support digital transformation for small and medium enterprises because this is a group that is easily "left behind" due to limited resources. At the same time, strengthening the training of high-quality human resources, supporting the opening of additional bus routes to serve workers, planning clean land funds for relocation projects, expanding production... are also the foundations for the sustainable development of enterprises in the future. In particular, digital transformation is no longer a trend but a must. However, to successfully transform, enterprises need the support of state management agencies in providing data platforms, consulting on solutions suitable for their scale, and supporting access to bank credit.
Thanks to clean land and investment procedure support, Greenworks Vietnam Co., Ltd. (Lien Ha Thai Industrial Park) soon went into production and business.
Side by side with businesses to welcome new opportunities
In the face of difficulties, the Thai Binh business community still clearly demonstrates a proactive, flexible spirit and aspiration to rise up. Many businesses have boldly invested in technological innovation, expanded export markets, and sought new directions to adapt to economic fluctuations. From another perspective, reality shows that the crisis is also an opportunity to filter and restructure the economy. For the province's business community, what is most valuable is the spirit of not surrendering to difficulties but choosing to adapt, adjust strategies, and cooperate to "overcome the storm".
The fact that the provincial government leader promptly organized a dialogue to resolve difficulties for the business community shows his determination and strong commitment to accompany, share, and create a favorable environment for businesses to develop effectively. Comrade Nguyen Manh Hung, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee affirmed: Our motto is "don't say no, don't say difficult, don't say yes but don't do it". Any problems raised by businesses will be considered, handled publicly, transparently, and on time.
To untie the "knots" that are "tying up" businesses, the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee has directed and assigned specific tasks to each department, branch, and locality to thoroughly handle a number of outstanding issues. The Department of Finance is assigned to review investment procedures for non-budget projects, study, and if there are any shortcomings, advise the Provincial People's Committee to adjust and amend them to suit the current situation of project implementation. The Department of Education and Training is urgently required to research and review mechanisms and policies on vocational education, promptly advise, amend, and supplement policies to suit, ensure effectiveness, and contribute to solving the shortage of workers, especially highly skilled workers of businesses and production and business establishments. The Department of Construction studies and advises the Provincial People's Committee on plans to continue organizing and implementing public passenger transport routes by bus, focusing on exploiting green, environmentally friendly bus routes, contributing to reducing traffic pressure, reducing emissions and protecting the environment. The Department of Agriculture and Environment guides clean water enterprises to adjust reasonable retail prices; strengthen inspection and handling of environmental violations in craft villages... In addition, the head of the Provincial People's Committee also directs the establishment of a focal point to receive and handle recommendations from enterprises, periodically reporting results to the Provincial People's Committee on a monthly basis. Issues that cannot be resolved immediately will be summarized and reported to competent authorities.
The provincial Party Committee and government have identified 2025 as a breakthrough year in implementing socio-economic development goals, striving for double-digit GRDP growth. To achieve this, businesses and the government always need to go together, take drastic and substantive actions. When trust is strengthened, administrative procedures are improved, and resources are energized, any difficulty will turn into an opportunity. This is also the best investment ecosystem to help Thai Binh become an attractive investment destination, a fertile land for businesses to develop sustainably.
