The government requests the finalization of the handling scheme for SCB by December
|
The government has just issued Resolution No. 218/NQ-CP, dated November 12, 2024, on the regular meeting of the Government in October 2024. Notably, it covers contents related to promoting national digital transformation, developing the digital economy and society, and establishing a national data center. It also emphasizes cutting and simplifying administrative procedures, improving the business investment environment, and boosting new growth drivers, industries, emerging fields, and business models.
The government requests ministries, agencies, and localities to urgently focus on the assigned tasks in the National Digital Transformation Program, the Strategy for Developing an Electronic Government towards a Digital Government, and the National Data Strategy. These tasks should align with the spirit of General Secretary To Lam’s directives on the digital transformation revolution and the lessons learned from implementing national digital transformation in conjunction with science and technology, innovation, and Proposal 06, which the government has chosen as a breakthrough.
There should be a maximum reduction in administrative procedures and compliance costs, providing the most convenience for citizens and businesses. The shift should be from pre-inspection to post-inspection, eliminating the “application-grant” mechanism, and thoroughly delegating authority to competent agencies and localities to handle and take responsibility. Strengthen the implementation of supervision, evaluation, and accountability of state agencies, officials, and public employees in serving the people. Digitally transform the implementation of administrative procedures, especially licensing activities, with a strong shift towards automatic licensing based on technology and digital data.
Comprehensively innovate and provide high-level online public services, independent of administrative boundaries, towards providing full-process, personalized, and data-based services. Transfer some tasks and public services that the state does not necessarily have to perform to businesses and social organizations.
The Steering Committee for reviewing and resolving difficulties and obstacles related to projects under Decision No. 1250/QD-TTg, dated October 23, 2024, of the Prime Minister, shall urgently survey, synthesize, and identify groups of problems to report and propose to the Government to issue documents directing ministries, branches, and localities to implement or submit to competent authorities for consideration and decision on issues beyond their competence.
The State Bank of Vietnam is requested to urgently finalize and submit to the competent authority the scheme for the mandatory transfer of the remaining specially controlled banks and complete the handling scheme for Saigon Commercial Joint Stock Bank (SCB) by December 2024. Deputy Prime Minister Ho Duc Phoc is assigned to direct and ensure the progress as required.
Earlier, during the question-and-answer session on November 12, the Prime Minister said that there had been many long-standing stagnant projects. The Politburo has agreed on the principle of handling 12 long-standing stagnant projects.
The Government will continue to review and handle stagnant projects, especially focusing on removing legal obstacles, according to the Prime Minister. For matters beyond its competence, the Prime Minister said that the Government would seek the National Assembly’s opinion.
Based on this, we will review similar projects and handle them in the spirit of respecting the current status, as the projects have suffered losses, and any violators will be handled, the Prime Minister added.
The Prime Minister recalled one of the stagnant projects that have been resolved, such as the Cat Linh – Ha Dong urban railway project, the Thai Binh 2 Thermal Power Plant…
Regarding the handling of weak banks, the head of the Government said that two weak banks had been forcibly transferred, and two more weak banks were being prepared for mandatory transfer.
The SCB is also being actively handled. The spirit is to ensure the safety of the system and the legitimate rights and interests of people related to these banks, without causing asset losses, and with a suitable roadmap, the Prime Minister concluded.
“Digital Illiteracy: The Stumbling Block to Successful Digital Transformation”
A “test-and-learn” or “fail-forward” culture is pivotal for businesses to thrive in today’s dynamic marketplace.

This mindset shift empowers employees to challenge conventions, explore new ideas, and drive meaningful change. As a result, organizations can adapt quickly, make informed decisions, and deliver exceptional products and services that meet and exceed customer expectations. Embracing a “test-and-learn” philosophy is a testament to the organization’s commitment to continuous improvement, ensuring they remain resilient and relevant in an ever-changing business landscape.
