Although the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) has had the policy to reduce interest rates and extend the repayment period to support enterprises in the restoration of production and business activities, many commercial banks said that there should be more mechanisms for implementation.

Quang Trung Software Park (QTSC) and Saigon Hi-Tech Park (SHTP), which play an important role in the production and export of software and high-tech products of Ho Chi Minh City, have soon resumed operations when the city implements Directive No.18.

Most of the traditional markets have been urgently planning to resume operations. Meanwhile, the purchasing power in the supermarket system has dropped sharply because people did not buy and hoard goods as before.

Enterprises are looking forward to the day Ho Chi Minh City reopens to restore production but cannot help worry about a labor shortage and safe conditions for operations and production. That is also the concern of a large number of workers who have been unemployed for many months and are longing for the day they return to work.

Eighteen percent of orders of European enterprises have moved out of Vietnam. Previously, many large FDI enterprises of Japan and South Korea had also informed Vietnamese enterprises producing supporting industrial products about moving some orders to neighboring countries. To avoid the risk of disruption in the domestic supply chain, Vietnamese enterprises have applied many solutions to maintain production.

Ho Chi Minh City businesses are eager and preparing to reopen after months of closure due to stringent social distancing orders, but continue to face challenges from tough regulations and staff shortages.

On the first day after social distancing was loosened, many people in District 7 in Ho Chi Minh City had to return when they went to the market because they forgot to bring their smartphones to scan the QR code. Some eateries have reopened. However, because travel remains difficult, they cannot buy enough ingredients, so they only sell food in the morning.
