Hope businesses give sincere advice like family

Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee Nguyen Van Duoc said that in the context of 2024 ending with many difficulties and many fluctuations in the world economy, Ho Chi Minh City still achieved important achievements thanks to the leadership and support of the Central Government, the rise of the City and especially the consensus of the people and businesses.

Mr. Duoc highly appreciated the contribution of domestic and foreign businesses to the development of Ho Chi Minh City and the country.

However, he also acknowledged that compared to its potential and advantages, the city still has many shortcomings and difficulties, especially in the investment environment.

According to Mr. Duoc, the city aims for double-digit growth in 2025, so the city wants to hear contributions from the business perspective to achieve this goal. At the same time, businesses propose ways to accompany the city so that the business community and the city can develop together, together "Win - Win".

City leaders hope that businesses will contribute sincerely and openly to come up with solutions to help the business community and the city develop together, especially to achieve the double-digit growth target.

"Please contribute sincerely and frankly, there is nothing to be shy about, it's all like home," Mr. Duoc shared.

Therefore, Mr. Hoa suggested that the city should review and improve administrative procedures and take more urgent action to remove difficulties for businesses.

Mr. Hoa proposed that HUBA and businesses be allowed to work with each department and agency to identify and resolve each problem.

Mr. Hoa also recommended that it is necessary to take advantage of the resources of state-owned enterprises when there are land plots and projects of state-owned enterprises that have been equitized but are still stuck with land use plans, even though they are not part of legal cases but are stuck with procedures and cannot be utilized.

At the conference, representatives of business and association leaders also recommended that the city improve administrative procedures, investment environment, accelerate infrastructure investment, and accelerate the development of the International Financial Center...
