Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh stated that the arrangement of models and organizations with State corporations and groups must be based on the spirit of "putting national interests first and foremost".

On the afternoon of January 6, at the Government Headquarters, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, Head of the Government's Steering Committee on "summarizing the implementation of Resolution No. 18-NQ/TW of the 12th Central Committee on continuing to innovate and reorganize the apparatus of the political system to be streamlined and operate effectively and efficiently" chaired the eighth meeting of the Steering Committee.

The meeting focused on discussing the termination of the State Capital Management Committee at enterprises 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.

After listening to opinions and concluding remarks, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh said that in the development process, we have applied different models in managing State-owned enterprises and State capital in enterprises suitable for each period.

However, the current model still has limitations, partly due to regulations in the Law on Management and Use of State Capital Invested in Production and Business at Enterprises (Law No. 69/2014/QH13).

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, by 2025, the whole country will strive for economic growth of at least 8%, creating momentum for the next period of double-digit growth. Therefore, ministries, branches, localities, units and enterprises must grow at least 8%.

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.

Regarding the plan to end the operation of the State Capital Management Committee at enterprises and the transfer of rights and responsibilities of the State ownership representative for 19 corporations and general companies, the Prime Minister emphasized that it is necessary to choose the most optimal option among possible options based on careful, thorough, objective, scientific consideration, suitable to the country's situation, to submit to competent authorities for consideration and decision.

Emphasizing the most important issue is efficiency, truly for the common mission, for the national and ethnic interests, for the development of the country, the Prime Minister said that for a number of corporations and general companies that play the role of ensuring major balances and are assigned national strategic tasks, research and proposal of models are under the authority of the Government.

At the same time, it is necessary to decentralize more power to businesses, increase initiative, dynamism, creativity, self-reliance and self-improvement.

These contents are all related to the provisions of Law No. 69/2014/QH13.

The Prime Minister requested the Ministry of Finance to urgently complete the draft Law on State Capital Management and Investment in Enterprises to replace Law No. 69/2014/QH13 so that the Government can submit it to the National Assembly at the upcoming February session, in order to resolve current bottlenecks and problems.

The Head of Government also emphasized that the Government, ministries and branches perform State management tasks according to their functions, tasks and powers, focusing on developing plans, strategies, mechanisms, policies and legal corridors for business operations, and designing tools for monitoring and inspection.

The Prime Minister noted that personnel work at enterprises must comply with Party and State regulations and that the assessment of enterprise performance must be comprehensive.
