The meeting focused on discussing the termination of the State Capital Management Committee at Enterprises (the Committee) and the transfer of rights and responsibilities of the State ownership representative to 19 corporations and general companies; and the arrangement and organization of the General Statistics Office.

Concluding the meeting, the Prime Minister stated that in the development process, we have applied different models in managing State enterprises and State capital in enterprises suitable for each period.

However, the current model still has limitations, partly due to the provisions of the Law on Management and Use of State Capital Invested in Production and Business at Enterprises. Therefore, it is necessary to continue to arrange and innovate in the direction of separating the tasks of State management and State capital management at enterprises.

According to the Prime Minister, the arrangement of models and organizations with State corporations and groups must be based on the spirit of "putting national interests first and foremost" so that State capital is best managed and best developed, serving the development of the country in the new period.

The Government leader requested to choose the optimal solution when ending the operation of the State Capital Management Committee at enterprises and transferring the rights and responsibilities of the State ownership representative for 19 corporations and general companies.

The optimal solution needs to be carefully, thoroughly, objectively, scientifically considered, and suitable to the country's situation, then submitted to competent authorities for consideration and decision. According to the Prime Minister, a number of corporations and general companies that play the role of ensuring major balances and are assigned national strategic tasks should research and propose models under the authority of the Government. At the same time, it is necessary to decentralize more power to enterprises, increase their proactiveness, dynamism, creativity, self-reliance, and self-reliance.

To ensure consistency in the legal system, the Prime Minister assigned the Ministry of Finance to complete the draft Law on State Capital Management and Investment in Enterprises to replace Law No. 69/2014/QH13 for the Government to submit to the National Assembly at the upcoming February session, in order to resolve current bottlenecks and problems. In addition, personnel work at enterprises must comply with Party and State regulations, and the assessment of enterprise performance must be comprehensive.

Regarding the organizational model of the statistical agency, the Prime Minister requested that there be no duplication or overlap in functions and tasks with other agencies, and that there be no intermediaries, no focal points, and no administrative procedures.

The Head of Government requested to absorb the opinions of the Steering Committee members and, based on political, legal and practical grounds, refer to international models, conduct thorough research, propose suitable models, and report to competent authorities for consideration.

According to the plan to orient, arrange and streamline the Government's organizational apparatus, the State Capital Management Committee at Enterprises will cease its operations; the rights and responsibilities of the State ownership representative with 19 corporations and general companies will be transferred to the sector management ministries.

The Committee was established in February 2018, is a government agency, performing the function of representing the owner of enterprises in which the State holds 100% of the charter capital and the State capital invested in joint stock companies and limited liability companies with two or more members.

To date, the total equity of 19 corporations and general companies has reached VND 1,180 trillion (up 11% compared to 2018); total assets have reached VND 2,540 trillion (up 5%); total consolidated revenue has reached VND 1,850 trillion (up 44%).
