Explaining the reason for the high number of businesses withdrawing from the market in the first 11 months of 2024, according to the Director of the Department of Planning and Investment, it is due to the slow recovery of total domestic and world consumer demand, making it difficult for businesses to find markets, leading to difficulties in consuming goods as well as the ability to access finance and recover finances.
Through the survey, the majority of enterprises dissolved or temporarily suspended operations. The dissolved enterprises were small businesses, with low operating efficiency for many years and were in the process of restructuring.
Recently, the Provincial People's Committee has directed sectors and localities to pay attention to and create favorable conditions for businesses to develop with the viewpoint: Only when businesses develop can the province develop.
The Department of Planning and Investment will continue to coordinate with all levels and sectors to advise the Provincial People's Committee to solve this problem, focusing on a number of solutions:
The first, synchronously and effectively deploy solutions to improve the investment and business environment. Currently, the Provincial People's Committee has issued instructions after the conference to strengthen solutions to improve the CPI Index, in which it assigns tasks to each industry and each specific locality to implement this task.
Monday, strengthen dialogue with businesses and business associations to grasp difficulties. In particular, departments, branches and localities need to focus on removing difficulties and obstacles, continue to review and reduce administrative procedures and processing time for businesses.
Tuesday, continue to implement business support policies according to Central and provincial regulations on taxes, fees, and access to capital sources for businesses.
According to the Director of the Department of Planning and Investment, government support is one part, the main thing is that businesses have many changes suitable to the local situation and adapt to new integration conditions. The province has attracted many FDI enterprises, but in the past, Nghe An enterprises and FDI enterprises have not created connections.
"The connection has not been implemented because the capacity of Nghe An enterprises has not met the requirements of FDI enterprises. On the part of the State management agency, the Department of Planning and Investment will continue to have solutions to coordinate, along with that, enterprises need to make efforts to create connections to develop production and business with FDI enterprises" - Director of the Department of Planning and Investment said.
Regarding the disbursement of public investment capital, comrade Pham Hong Quang emphasized: Since the beginning of the year, Nghe An province has paid great attention to directing the disbursement of public investment capital. Currently, Nghe An is considered a fairly good top of the country, with many outstanding results. Many key works and projects have been put into effective operation, ensuring timely progress.
However, compared to the requirements, the determined and drastic goal of disbursing 95% of public investment capital by January 31, 2025 is a great pressure. To achieve the above goal, the Department of Planning and Investment is closely coordinating with relevant units and investors to remove difficulties, create all conditions, and is determined to complete the disbursement of 95% of public investment capital in 2024.
However, two sources of capital under the national target program of sustainable poverty reduction and socio-economic development in ethnic minority areas have generally not met requirements.
"With the drastic and close direction of the Provincial People's Committee, the drastic participation of departments and branches, and the close coordination of localities, we believe that the disbursement of public investment capital will reach 95% of the set plan," the Director of the Department of Planning and Investment affirmed.
