According to NA deputies’ opinions, HCMC needs the special urban Law and specific mechanisms for an international financial center. In addition, the city must have drastic synchronous solutions to implement the new resolution to replace resolution 54 effectively.

At present, the city is promptly carrying out necessary works for the implementation of the new resolution as soon as possible, and coordinating with the Ministry of Planning and Investment to continue to prepare a construction project of an international financial center to submit to the National Assembly, and studying proposals for building the special urban Law for the city.

The news resolution has 44 mechanisms and policies compared to the resolution 54 having 15 mechanisms. If resolution 54 focused on generating income, the new resolution would pay attention to attracting social investment sources, solving problems in project implementation procedures, and carrying out a pilot program of new models of investment.

The new resolution also shows regional connectivity through mechanisms allowing the city to use its sources to participate in regional and inter-regional projects and support a number of domestic and foreign localities; and includes requirements of resolution 31 on granting authority to the city to make decisions in the fields of investment management, State budget, planning, land, construction, and decentralize and authorize power for Thu Duc City.

The core value of resolution is developing and exploiting resources for the city, especially the resources for transport infrastructure investment, development of science and technology, and innovation and creativity.
