Technology business leaders propose removing 'barriers' when implementing Resolution 68

Mr. Nguyen Trung Chinh, Chairman of the Board of Directors/Executive Chairman of CMC Technology Group affirmed: “Resolution 68 is a breakthrough in ideology, when for the first time the private economic sector is established as the most important driving force. If implemented in the right direction, most of the bottlenecks will be removed”.

Mr. Nguyen Trung Chinh, who directly participated in the Resolution's editorial team, shared: "The intensity of discussion to complete the draft Resolution is urgent. Just two days after signing and promulgating, the working groups met with the National Assembly Office to prepare for the Resolution's implementation, expected to be presented on May 18.

These procedures not only caused delays, but also put businesses at risk of having their projects "suspended" indefinitely...

Lawyer Bui Van Thanh added: “A business spent a whole year just to get permission to print packaging because it was classified as a ‘publishing activity’. This reality shows the obsolescence of the legal system. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a transparent national portal on investment opportunities."

Representatives of many businesses also said that the Government should allocate budget to buy Vietnamese software to provide free of charge to new businesses under 3 years old, in order to create conditions to put tools into the hands of businesses and research and develop practical laws, limiting the responsibility to be pushed down to decrees and circulars...
