Series of solutions from Ho Chi Minh City to support businesses to overcome difficulties at the end of the year

The last two months of the year are a "hot" time. It is both an opportunity for a breakthrough when consumer demand increases during the holidays. It is also a challenge with the pressure to meet growth targets.

The Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee has just issued a document directing the implementation of the Prime Minister's Official Dispatch 221. The goal is clear: maintaining macroeconomic stability and promoting exports.

Not just stopping at slogans, Ho Chi Minh City assigns specific tasks to each unit. From policy to action. From finance to market. From production to export.

From policy to action

The Department of Finance was assigned the most "heavy" task. It had to update the Official Dispatch 221 into the 2026 socio-economic development plan. It also had to proactively grasp the difficulties of businesses to advise timely solutions.

Administrative procedure reform continues to be promoted. Creating a favorable investment environment is the top priority. Guiding businesses to build flexible production plans for the end of the year.

Focus on applying science and technology . Develop brand. Improve competitiveness. Expand market. These are the "weapons" that help businesses stand firm.

The Department of Industry and Trade vigorously implements trade promotion programs, especially for Christmas and New Year products - when international consumer demand increases.

Coordinate with industry associations to provide market information. Guide businesses to effectively utilize FTAs. Promote connections between domestic enterprises and FDI enterprises to expand the supply chain.

The Department of Agriculture and Environment focuses on providing guidance on the development of codes for growing and farming areas. Geographical indications and traceability systems are required to meet export requirements.

Implement measures to combat IUU fishing to remove the "yellow card" for seafood. Update information from border localities to recommend appropriate production, packaging, and transportation. Avoid congestion of agricultural products.

Comprehensive support

State Bank branch region 2 directs credit institutions to prioritize capital flow. Control bad debt. Flexible interest rate management for easy access by businesses.

Ho Chi Minh City Customs speeds up customs clearance procedures but does not "loosen" control. Strengthens inspection of goods quality. Prevents origin fraud.

Ho Chi Minh City Tax Department supports businesses in implementing tax policies, especially those affected by the US reciprocal tax policy.

The Department of Foreign Affairs coordinates with Vietnamese representative agencies abroad. Supports businesses in expanding into new markets - where potential has not yet been fully exploited.

The Department of Finance takes on the role of "coordinator". Monitor and urge implementation. Synthesize reports to the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee on issues beyond its authority.

Determined to achieve the goal

Ho Chi Minh City is racing against time. The last two months of the year are the "last minute" that will decide success or failure.

The growth pressure from the Central Government is huge. The challenges from reality are no less. The reciprocal tax policy from the United States. The increasingly strict requirements from the export market.

But Ho Chi Minh City has the answer. Synchronized action from many units. Specific solutions for each field. Comprehensive support for businesses.

The last two months of the year will tell whether this “combo” is strong enough. But one thing is certain: Ho Chi Minh City is doing its best to help businesses overcome difficulties, achieve the 2025 growth target and build a foundation for the 2026 plan.
