Equity reached over VND 1.8 million billion, an increase of 3%; the total value of state capital being invested in SOEs is more than VND 1.7 million billion, an increase of 3% compared to 2021.

In 2022, the total revenue of the above 676 enterprises will reach VND 2.64 million billion, an increase of 29% compared to 2021. Pre-tax profits will reach more than VND 241.1 trillion, an increase of 24% compared to 2021.

There are 3 parent companies that mobilize capital through issuing domestic corporate bonds. The cumulative value of corporate bonds issued as of December 31, 2022, is VND 5.39 trillion.

The report also stated that 6/77 parent companies were determined to have not been able to preserve equity (the enterprise had accumulated losses after setting up risk provisions according to regulations and the owner's investment capital of ownership is less than equity).

SOEs are still weak in industries, but help improve the competitiveness of the economy

With the above results, the Government's report assesses that, basically, SOEs have completed their production and business tasks. Total revenue, profit, budget payment, the value of implemented development investment capital, and the average income of employees increased. Some corporations and corporations achieve large export turnover.

In addition, state-owned enterprises, with a focus on corporations and corporations, have played an important role in the economy, being the leading and key enterprises in production fields, for example, playing a large role in ensuring national energy security such as Vietnam Electricity Group (EVN), Vietnam Oil and Gas Group (PVN), Vietnam Coal and Mineral Industry Group (TKV)...

In the telecommunications sector, Viettel, VNPT, and Mobifone have clearly demonstrated their leading role in digital transformation, building digital infrastructure for Government agencies and many localities, organizations, and businesses.

Some SOEs have built reputable brands of products, goods, and services that have great influence in the region and internationally in many fields such as transportation services (Vietnam Airlines), seaports and logistics ( Saigon New Port), rubber...

However, the report also frankly points out many shortcomings and limitations of SOEs such as not clearly demonstrating a prominent role in leading, motivating, and promoting value-added chain links. SOEs are still weak in industries that affect the competitiveness of the economy such as high technology, and industries that can lead economic structural transformation such as manufacturing components, machinery, and finished equipment for manufacturing industries, source technology...

Along with that, operational efficiency is not commensurate with the resources held. Some investment projects are still behind schedule; the long-term settlement of capital construction projects reduces the efficiency of resource use.

The work of building and implementing plans for equitization and divestment of state capital at enterprises has not received serious attention; The finalization of equitization has not been seriously implemented and is still being delayed in some enterprises after equitization, which leads to slow progress in implementing equitization and divestment, not meeting the proposed plan requirements, affecting the progress and revenue from equitization and divestment of the entire period.

Regarding solutions, the Government said it will comprehensively amend Law No. 69/2014/QH13 to complete and build a legal framework for management and investment of state capital in enterprises, synchronizing the process and content of amendments to the Bidding Law, Land Law beside improving the operational efficiency and arrangement of SOEs...
