Speaking at a conference of the Steering Committee for Enterprise Innovation and Development for the 2021-2026 period on January 3, Phoc emphasised the need for more drastic solutions to address difficulties and bottlenecks in the restructuring of SOEs in 2025, particularly in corporate and land asset valuation.

Representatives from the SOEs, including Petrovietnam, Viettel, VNPT, VRG, EVN, and Agribank, emphasised the necessity of addressing bottlenecks in capital divestment. They also called for enhancements in the legal framework governing foreign capital divestment at SOEs, alongside improvements in corporate governance regulations, tax policies, and investments in power sources.
Additionally, they stressed the importance of institutional improvements to bolster the accountability of SOE leaders.
In response, the Deputy PM called for an acceleration of the privatisation process to enhance the production and business efficiency of the SOEs. He urged relevant ministries and agencies to conduct thorough evaluations of privatization efficiency.
The Deputy PM emphasised the need to enhance the legal framework, particularly the Law on Management and Use of State Capital Invested in Production and Business at Enterprises, with a spirit of innovation.
