At the conference, Deputy Prime Minister Le Minh Khai said that the CMSC and the 19 corporations have successfully implemented the “dual goals" of fighting the COVID-19 pandemic, while maintaining production and business activities, contributing to the recovery and socio-economic development of the whole country.
In 2022, Deputy Prime Minister requested the CMSC to strengthen its capacity, strengthen the inspection and supervision tasks, especially financial supervision and investment supervision.
He requested that the CMSC remove difficulties and reform administrative procedures, improve the investment and business environment to create the most favorable conditions for corporations to recover and develop production, to overcome negative impacts caused by the pandemic.
For the companies, the Deputy Prime Minister requested they conduct measures to prevent and control the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure safety for workers’ health and income, at the same time, strive to complete the highest level of the business plans in 2022; improve production and business efficiency; invest according to strategies and plans and in accordance with the market economic mechanism, to ensure efficiency and sustainable development.
CMSC Deputy Chairman Nguyen Ngoc Canh said the commission would continue to effectively handle outstanding loss-making projects that were behind schedule and inefficient, continue to accelerate the restructuring of State-owned enterprises, promote the process of equitization and rearrangement of enterprises under 19 groups and corporations.
Although recording positive business results in the context of the pandemic, CMSC leaders said that capital management activities at enterprises still had shortcomings and limitations.
This includes the settlement of a number of tasks that have not yet met the prescribed deadlines such as financial statements; the plan for profit distribution and setting up of funds in 2020; as well as corporate financial supervision reports.
The main reasons for the limitations and shortcomings were the CMSC's heavy workload, diversified fields, limited human resources, lack of experienced and qualified employees.
