Strong development, many achievements
Mr. Le Tan Can, Deputy Minister of Finance , emphasized: Over 40 years of innovation, the business community has grown stronger, the entrepreneurial spirit, the spirit of innovation and the desire to rise up have become increasingly stronger. In particular, even in difficult times, natural disasters and epidemics, businesses and businessmen still strive to maintain production and business activities, demonstrating social responsibility to the community. It can be said that the private economy has continuously developed, affirming its position: (1) as an important driving force of the economy; (2) as an effective channel to mobilize social resources for development investment; (3) making an important contribution to promoting economic growth, increasing state budget revenue; (4) creating jobs, income, improving people's lives, ensuring social security; (5) promoting international integration; (6) making an important contribution to the cause of building, defending the Fatherland and developing the country.

After 40 years of construction and development, the private sector has grown strongly and achieved many remarkable achievements. The number of established enterprises has increased sharply over the years and to date there are nearly 1 million enterprises operating in the economy . On average, in the period 2010-2020, each year there are over 100,000 newly established enterprises, with annual registered capital reaching over 950,000 billion VND; in the period 2021-2024, each year there are over 145,000 newly established enterprises, with total newly registered capital reaching over 1.5 million billion VND. The private sector has continuously maintained a fairly high growth rate, making it the largest contributor to the economy, accounting for about 50% of GDP. From 2016 to present, the growth rate of the private sector has reached about 6-8%/year, higher than the average growth rate of the economy. In addition, in the 2017-2023 period, the private economy created an average of more than 43.5 million jobs, accounting for more than 82% of total jobs in the economy (many times higher than about 8% of the state economy and 10% of FDI enterprises)...
However, in addition to the achievements, the private sector still faces many barriers that hinder its development, has not yet made a breakthrough in scale and competitiveness, and has not yet met the requirements and expectations of being the core force of the country's economy. Most enterprises are micro, small and medium-sized; financial potential and management skills are limited, technology level and innovation capacity are low; labor productivity, operational efficiency and competitiveness are not high; business thinking lacks strategic vision, and lacks connection with state-owned enterprises and enterprises with foreign direct investment.
Think deep, do big
At the seminar, many opinions said that business associations need to proactively enhance their capacity and operational efficiency, promote their representative role and bridge between the business community and enterprises with state management agencies in information activities, propaganda of new regulations and policies on business people and enterprises; promote the role of social criticism in policy making. At the same time, build, mobilize, promote and encourage business people to implement ethical standards and business culture; honor exemplary business people and enterprises.
Mr. Nguyen Van Than, Chairman of the Vietnam Association of Small and Medium Enterprises, proposed that the Government study specific support mechanisms such as preferential interest rate policies or credit guarantees to ensure that small and medium enterprises can access capital at lower costs, thereby improving business efficiency. In addition, the Government should soon issue decisions assigning specific tasks to the Association; creating favorable conditions in terms of time and resources for the Association to prepare and effectively implement action programs. This will help the Association promote its role as a bridge between the Government and the business community, contributing to promoting the sustainable development of the small and medium enterprise sector.
According to Ms. Mai Kieu Lien, General Director of Vietnam Dairy Products Joint Stock Company (Vinamilk), there are currently many policies and regulations of the law that businesses must comply with during the development process. However, the business requested that if problems arise during the implementation process, it hopes that ministries, branches, levels and the Government will handle and resolve them quickly. "When the opportunity comes, businesses can move forward 5 or 10 years, but if they miss the opportunity, they will be delayed 50 years. As with Vinamilk, the problem arises from the bottom up to the General Director, requiring only 48 hours for the final decision maker to handle it. As for the Government, how much time do we hope to be given, from the time the problem arises until it reaches the Prime Minister? That means there is a certain amount of time to resolve the problems of businesses" - Ms. Mai Kieu Lien said.
On the business side, Mr. Le Tan Can said that businesses and business households need to affirm their role and position in the economy; must operate in accordance with the law; eliminate the "grab and run" and illegal business mindset, disregarding the interests of customers, partners and consumers. Businesses and entrepreneurs need to attach importance to building and implementing corporate culture, fostering national pride and self-esteem. At the same time, they need to be proactive and respect cooperation, cohesion, attachment, mutual support, solidarity and development. Large enterprises must strive to become leading enterprises, pioneers, and leaders of small and medium enterprises. Small and medium enterprises must have the mindset to develop into medium and large enterprises, thereby creating a force of high-quality Vietnamese enterprises as directed by the Party in Resolution No. 68-NQ/TW.
Speaking at the seminar, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh emphasized: The resolutions of the Politburo, the National Assembly, and the Government have been very synchronous and complete; the issue raised, the greatest wish is to organize the implementation really well, really effectively with the spirit of "thinking deeply, doing big".
Regarding the responsibilities of the Government, ministries, branches, and local leaders, the Prime Minister requested to focus on better implementing the three strategic breakthroughs in institutions, infrastructure, and human resources; ensure equal access to capital, resources, land, human resources, law, freedom of business, equality, and property rights of enterprises; regularly meet and discuss with enterprises to find solutions to problems.
Expressing his wishes to businesses and entrepreneurs, the Prime Minister emphasized that businesses and entrepreneurs must operate in accordance with the law, uphold business ethics and civic responsibility. At the same time, they must constantly innovate, research, apply science and technology, digital transformation, smart governance, especially the transfer of source technology and core technology. Businesses must take the lead, pioneer, and be ahead in this field to bring benefits to the nation and people. Businesses and entrepreneurs, together with the Government and ministries under the leadership of the Party and the management of the State, participate in creating development, giving opinions on building institutions, developing infrastructure, training high-quality human resources, contributing to building and protecting an increasingly happy and prosperous country.
