Vietnam aims to have 50 State-owned enterprises among Southeast Asia’s 500 largest firms and one to three in the global top 500 by 2030.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has decided to
establish a National Steering Committee for the implementation of the
Politburo’s Resolution No. 79-NQ/TW on State economy development.

PM Chinh will lead the Committee while Deputy Prime Minister
Nguyen Chi Dung, Deputy Prime Minister Ho Duc Phoc, and Minister of Finance
Nguyen Van Thang will serve as Vice Chairs.

The committee will assist the PM in directing and
coordinating the implementation of major inter-sectoral issues related to the
development of State economy.

Resolution 79-NQ/TW, dated January 6, reaffirms the State economy’s
leading role in Vietnam’s economy in maintaining macroeconomic stability,
safeguarding major economic balances, and ensuring national defence and
security.

The Resolution stresses that the State economy is equal
before the law with other economic sectors and is expected to compete and
cooperate on a fair and transparent basis, with equitable access to resources,
markets, and development opportunities.

By 2030, Vietnam aims to have 50 State-owned enterprises
(SOEs) among Southeast Asia’s 500 largest firms and one to three in the global
top 500.
