PM to address business concerns this month

(Bqp.vn) - Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung will hold a dialogue with the business community in late April to address their concerns, according to the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce Industry (VCCI) President Vu Tien Loc.

The forum, to be jointly hosted by the VCCI and the Government Office, will offer the business community a chance to come up with firm recommendations to ease difficulty and facilitate their operations.

Loc says developing the private business sector is considered the driving force in fuelling economic growth. However, businesses, especially small and medium-sized, are encountering difficulty in accessing development resources, including capital, market, and lack of incentives from the government.

Before 2006 the dialogue between the Prime Minister and businesses had been held annually and become an important forum on the business and investment environment.

Realising the importance of the business community in national economy, the Party’s Political Bureau issued a resolution in late 2011 on building and bringing into full play the role of Vietnamese entrepreneurs in the process of national industrialisation and modernisation, as well as international integration.
