The Ministry of Finance held a policy dialogue with South Korean businesses to discuss regulatory changes and operational difficulties in Vietnam. Minister of Finance Ngo Van Tuan stated that the government is pivoting its policy from simply supporting businesses to creating conditions for development.

The government is committed to establishing a transparent and predictable legal framework, particularly in taxation and customs, to support long-term investment. Furthermore, the Ministry of Finance proposed measures, including reductions in taxes, fees, charges, and land rental, to support businesses. This shift also includes moving from direct state aid to comprehensive ecosystem building.
