Social resources should be drawn into the equitisation of State-owned
enterprises (SOEs) to pave the way for people to take control of the
economy, experts suggested at a Ho Chi Minh City workshop on June 30.
If so, stages of equitisation such as appraisal, charter capital
structure, shareholder issue, apparatus and human resources will change
for the better, which in turn, bring more benefits to workers,
investors and the economy as a whole, they said.
Equitisation
forms part of the ongoing economic restructuring scheme since a number
of SOEs ran ineffectively, incurring huge losses in 2012 due to their
scattered investments.
It is advisable to examine the
performance of the SOEs’ business fields and continue running productive
units only, said Deputy Director of the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of
Politics and Public Administration, Associate Professor Le Quoc Ly.
Under its decree issued in May, 2014, the government will monitor,
examine and inspect SOEs in the observance of law and decisions by their
owners from July 10. The move is expected to help owners and State
management agencies to see a full and clear picture of SOEs’ operations.
