At the meeting, some common difficulties and problems of enterprises in the process of production and business activities in the province are reported. The global economic situation is still unstable due to prolonged political conflicts, rising inflation, narrowing the market, and scarcity of orders, causing many enterprises in textile, garment, footwear, wood, etc. to face difficulties and disrupt the supply chain.
Enterprises face difficulty to approach loans; unsecured loans are based on the business plan and project of the enterprise while the enterprise does not have a good business plan due to lack of export orders. Many businesses encountered difficulties when implementing new regulations on fire prevention and fighting such as area, construction of emergency stairs, construction materials and fireproof paint. Particularly in the petroleum sector, there are 44 stores that do not meet the conditions for fire prevention and fighting.
The application for work permits for foreigners, re-certifying of foreign workers' work experience according to the provisions of Clause 4, Article 9, Decree No. 152/2020/ND-CP of the Government on regulations on Foreign workers working in Viet Nam, etc. are also difficult for some enterprises.
