Vietnam cutting red tape, boosting credit to fuel economic growth
To support business recovery, authorities are implementing vital administrative reforms, providing flexible credit access, encouraging market diversification, and designing targeted fiscal policies to overcome specific domestic enterprise challenges.
Vietnam is streamlining administrative procedures and boosting credit access to stimulate economic growth. Officials claim they have cut over 76% of administrative processes and reduced processing times by half. Tax reductions, amounting to nearly VND174 trillion ($6.67 billion) in the first seven months, have been implemented to sustain corporate cash flow.
Banks are offering collateral-free loans to SMEs and startups based on factors like cash flow and business models. HCMC's banks have helped 97,000 customers access credit, disbursing VND330 trillion ($12.6 billion) in loans. HCMC's economic landscape is showing signs of stabilization, with eight enterprises shutting down for every ten that opened over the past seven months.
The Ministry of Finance is considering a 30% corporate income tax cut for small enterprises earning under VND10 billion ($383,000) annually, despite a projected revenue loss of over VND6.7 trillion ($257 million) over two years. HCMC authorities plan to host the Vietnam Export Fair in October and focus on clearing bottlenecks at industrial clusters to expedite land handovers and reduce logistics costs.
