Deputy PM Khai, who leads the Steering Committee for Enterprise Renovation and Development, chaired the Steering Committee’s meeting on future tasks and solutions in Hanoi on Wednesday. 

“The ministries, sectors, and localities continue to direct more closely to perfect the legal framework and mechanisms, policies and regulations to clear obstacles in the restructuring of enterprises, especially the equitization and divestment. Particularly assessing the equitization and divestment period from 2016 to 2020, it is necessary to state the causes and problems that exist, and propose solutions related to the mechanism, which is the key to fulfilling specific tasks,” he said.
