Leaders of Long An Provincial People's Committee dialogue with enterprises to grasp difficulties, thereby finding support solutions

Many difficulties and challenges

In the context of the province's economic situation continuing to face many difficulties and challenges due to the dual impact of both external factors and internal limitations, in recent times, the province has issued many very drastic directives, together with the people and the business community, unanimously overcoming limitations; turning difficulties into motivation, implementing and completing socio-economic development goals.

The work of promoting, attracting and supporting investment continues to be focused on and implemented vigorously, bringing positive results. Many large projects have been started such as Pepsi, Thai Tuan, Aeon, etc.

In addition to the positive aspects, according to statistics, the number of dissolved or temporarily suspended enterprises in the area is still relatively high. This shows that the business operations of enterprises are still facing many difficulties and challenges. Some enterprises are facing difficulties in the fields of land and construction.

According to the representative of Hai Son Company Limited (Duc Hoa district), the investment and operation process always receives timely support from leaders at all levels. However, the company is still facing certain difficulties, mainly related to the issue of appraising infrastructure unit prices and land prices to fulfill financial obligations; some land-related procedures for consulting with sectors are often very slow; etc.

In addition, some enterprises are also facing difficulties in recruiting workers and high-quality human resources to serve production and business.

Representative of Chutex International Co., Ltd. (Duc Hoa district) - Erng Sow Ngoh proposed that relevant agencies and sectors of the province have policies and solutions to support the recruitment of labor resources in the area because recently, many workers have quit their jobs and recruitment has been difficult, affecting production and business activities.

According to General Director of Ching Luh Vietnam Shoes Co., Ltd. (Ben Luc district) - Cynthia Hsieh, enterprises need the province to support, orient and have a suitable labor training strategy to meet the increasing demand in the current and upcoming period.

On the other hand, enterprises can also cooperate and provide related training programs to meet the demand for labor and human resources. They hope that all levels and sectors will pay attention, support and accompany in the implementation for the common development goal.

According to Thang Loi Real Estate Group Joint Stock Company, the unit is implementing many projects in Long An. Among them are projects that are carrying out procedures for calculating land use fees to determine financial obligations, specifically the project for Construction of Technical Infrastructure for Low-Income Residential Areas in Duc Lap Thuong Commune, Duc Hoa District, which has the Decision on land allocation phase 2 since July 2022, however, after more than 2 years, the competent authority has not yet notified the amount of land use fees to be paid.

The delay in determining the project's financial obligations has greatly affected the progress of separating sub-books and transferring them to project customers, leading to complaints and lawsuits from customer groups. Therefore, the company hopes that the Provincial People's Committee will soon direct a solution so that the enterprise can quickly fulfill its financial obligations according to regulations.

Joining hands to overcome difficulties

With the view that the difficulties of enterprises are also the difficulties of the province, Long An always listens to and supports the business community to overcome difficulties and obstacles.

In recent times, the province has had many mechanisms and policies to improve the investment environment, support enterprises and investors. The provincial leaders have directed departments, branches and localities to closely coordinate in solving bottlenecks for enterprises, creating peace of mind in production and business activities.

The department coordinates to review relevant legal regulations, research in the direction of assigning enterprises to preside over hiring a valuation unit with full legality to implement, then submit to the Provincial Valuation Council to re-evaluate the enterprise's certificate to speed up the implementation progress; etc.
