HÀ NỘI — Việt Nam is stepping up the equitisation of State-owned enterprises (SOE) and wants foreign investors to get involved in the process, Prime Minister Nguyễn Xuân Phúc said on Thursday. He made the remark at a reception for foreign investors.

PM Phúc affirmed that the Vietnamese Government is making efforts to maintaining macro-economic stability and keeping inflation under control, accelerating growth, boosting private sector development, developing regulations, building infrastructure, and addressing climate change.

Việt Nam is determined to maintain the fast economic growth of recent years and is also resolved to achieve targets such as poverty elimination and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. 

The Vietnamese Government pledges to create the best possible conditions for both domestic and foreign businesses. It considers foreign investors’ successes as its own, he stressed. 

On behalf of the foreign investors, Standard Chartered CEO for Việt Nam Nirukt Sapru said many investors representing world leading groups are greatly interested in the Vietnamese market. The investors assess the country as a dynamic market with much development potential, he said, adding that the meeting is also an occasion for them to learn more about Việt Nam’s economic development orientations. — VNS
