In the coming time, the HCMC People’s Committee will accelerate five main tasks, including completing the document on a decree related to granting authority to the People’s Council and People’s Committee of the city, coordinating with the Ministry of Home Affairs to promulgate decrees and regulations for cadre election and management; recruiting, using and managing civil servants working at wards, communes and towns; cooperting with the Ministry of Finance to issue decrees related to project payment and settlement under build-transfer (BT) form; offering income tax exemption for startup businesses and individuals in the city’s priority areas.

The HCMC People’s Committee has focused on solving problems in construction investment procedures; granting of certificates of land use rights, house ownership, and other assets attached to land; real estate, and commercial housing projects.
Besides achievements, the city’s manufacturing sector saw a decline in production orders and an unexpected increase in inventory, a decrease of 14.2 percent and 17.25 percent in export and import turnovers respectively. The number of new business establishments rose but the amount of registered capital of new businesses dropped. Total foreign investment capital registered into the city sharply decreased by 34.1 percent. Disbursement has been lower than expected.
Under specific policies and mechanisms of Resolution 98, the city will allocate public investment capital to provide interest-rate support to projects that receive loans from the HFIC in the priority fields, strengthen solutions for price stabilization, accelerate the disbursement of public investment, solve problems in compensation for site clearance, and provide resettlement support for Ring Road 3.
