The Ministry of Planning and Investment will study suitable and feasible policy packages to support businesses in the remaining months of this year, as commercial difficulties and challenges still persist.

According to a recent directive of Minister of Planning and Investment Nguyễn Chí Dũng on tasks for the second half of 2024, the focus will be on hastening reforms to create breakthroughs and impetus for growth.

The ministry will also propose and raise policies to remove difficulties for enterprises, cooperatives and business households together with appropriate policies to promote their developments and support packages to create new growth drivers such as semiconductor industry, digital transformation and green transition.

The ministry is also determined to achieve the public investment disbursement rate of more than 95 per cent and create favourable conditions to attract private investment and foreign direct investment.

Another focus is accelerating the transition of the economic structure and renovating the growth models.

This includes the implementation of regional planning to enhance regional linkage and create new growth drivers.

The ministry will enhance the effectiveness of the National Innovation Centre to build and develop an ecosystem of innovation and start-ups in Việt Nam and contribute to the digital transformation for domestic enterprises.

The legal framework for the foundation and operation of the investment support fund and regional and international financial centres in Việt Nam will also be completed. — VNS
