Deputy Minister of Planning and Investment, Nguyen The Phuong, said the government has directed a master plan to restructure state owned enterprises by 2020:

“The government has directed ministries, especially those with a dominant number of SOEs to boost equitization. We should have a clear and solid legal foundation to ensure the correct evaluation of SOE assets to prevent losses of state assets.”

Cabinet members also answered questions on the equitization of the Vietnam Rubber Group, the Thach Khe iron project and gasoline tax.
