The Ministry of Planning and Investment has proposed to remove nearly 2,000 business conditions from ministries and sectors that are thought to cause difficulties and obstacles for businesses.
According to the report of the Ministry of Planning and Investment submitted to the Government, this agency proposed to remove 1,930 requirements and conditions on business that are considered as sublicenses hinder business for a long time. Of these, the Ministry proposed removing all or part of 302 financial conditions. In addition, 85 business conditions on location and 1,336 conditions on production capacity, 127 conditions on business methods, 80 conditions on planning… are proposed to be abandoned entirely.
In addition, other business conditions related to human resources issues (except for some professions that require professional qualifications and experiences such as doctor and auditor) and some conditions with inappropriate contents, the Ministry also recommends the abolition of all or part.
According to the report of the Central Institute for Economic Management (CIEM), there are about 4,284 business conditions, corresponding with 243 conditional investment businesses. Of these, the Ministry of Industry and Trade has the highest number of business conditions with 1,152 conditions; next is the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, Ministry of Health…
Most of these business conditions are creating unreasonable barriers to investment, entry into the market, limiting the number of newly registered businesses, increasing production costs, discouraging businesses.
Moreover, business conditions also reduce market competition, productivity and competitiveness of the economy. Businesses also face with many risks in the process of operation when many business conditions are unclear, creating opportunities for the arbitrariness of state management agencies and the harassment of officials… These effects are going backwards and hinder the Government’s resolve to improve the business environment and cut costs for businesses.
