Reducing interest rates is not as important as accessing capital
Participating in a discussion session of the National Assembly on the socio-economic situation on the afternoon of May 31, delegate Trinh Xuan An (Dong Nai delegation) - Member of the National Defense - Security Committee assessed that GDP growth in the first quarter of 5% was a low level.
Important tasks, according to him, should focus on consolidating and strengthening the macroeconomic foundation, controlling inflation, and improving the internal capacity and autonomy of the economy. At the same time, delegate An said that there must be urgent solutions, even surpassing precedents to rescue and support the business system.
"Enterprises are the material foundation and driving force for development, but the data shows that the enterprise system is in a really difficult period," Mr. An said.

The delegate of Dong Nai delegation mentioned four bottlenecks businesses are facing, including: shortage of orders, bottlenecks in capital flow, inadequate institutions, besieged administrative procedures and legal risks that may be encountered in the process of production and business activities.
Talking more about the fact that businesses are thirsty for credit but cannot access capital, delegates highly appreciate the responsibility of the Government when they have to use "administrative orders to request interest rate reductions".
However, he emphasized that reducing interest rates is not as important as accessing capital and putting that capital into production and business.
Along with credit, according to Mr. An, it is necessary to continue to open up other capital channels such as bonds and securities, and at the same time continue to review institutions, simplify administrative procedures in a more substantive manner and change the culture of "businesses must beg, go and run".
“Governments and managers need to show an attitude of service and proactively come to businesses to solve problems. The things that need to be done for the business system to develop should be done immediately, decided immediately, reduced the steps of asking for opinions, exchanging around between agencies and ministries, avoiding when it is solved, the business is close to heaven and earth, "said Mr. An.
Anything for the Prime Minister to send a telegram to urge
In the difficult context, the delegate also said that it is necessary to reduce the inspection and inspection contents to avoid the situation of enterprises having to explain themselves.
Regarding the management role, Mr. An stated that ministries and sectors need to clarify their leading role, proactively handle and limit the pushing of responsibilities to superiors and heads. "Not all content must be for the Prime Minister to send a telegram to urge or the Government must issue a resolution to remove difficulties," he said.
This delegate mentioned the recent fact that the fact that people and businesses have to wait to buy gasoline, queue all night to register cars, fiddle with regulations on fire prevention and fighting, queue for procedures to apply for judicial records, etc.
"In management, we hope that sometimes state agencies admit the difficult part on their own to work hard but immediately solve the problem for people and businesses to expect," Mr. An shared.
At the end of his speech, Mr. An suggested that the National Assembly pay attention to the field of defense and security. In addition to paying attention to and investing in equipment, it is necessary to continue to focus on income support, improving life, especially the salary and income regime so that officers and soldiers can rest assured to serve.
“The salary of an officer specializing in driving tanks is less than half that of a Grab driver in a month, so it is very disadvantageous for the brothers,” he said..
