Enterprise in 2005: "Enterprise is an economic entity
having its own name, assets, and stable transaction office;
its business is registered following the legal regulations
with the aim of carrying out business activities, whereas
State-owned enterprises are enterprises in which the
State owns over 50% of charter capital (i.e the capital
which is contributed by members and shareholders in a
given period of time and is recorded to the company
charter) "

 Enterprises with 100%
state capital
 Equitized enterprises with:
- Over 75% of the state capital
- 65% of the state capital

THE CURRENT OPERATION
OF STATE OWNED ENTERPRISES
a. State owned enterprises in the context of the economy of
Vietnam
Attach to the reform process in Vietnam and international
integration:Enterprises operate under the market-oriented
mechanism, multi-sector economy is developed
Non-state enterprises increased; FDI increased
VN’ economy integrate into the world economy
The economy was operating under the market
mechanism, had an autonomy in doing its own
production and business activities, tied to market
VN’s economy was operating under the
centralized mechanism. The majority was
SOEs which had weak competitiveness
and slow development

THE CURRENT OPERATION
OF STATE OWNED ENTERPRISES
b. State owned enterprises in the context of the regional and world
economy
The late 2000
economic downturn
• Takes place in many countries and
regions around the world.
• Many Asian countries have reduced
growth, including Vietnam
The financial crisis of
2007 so far
• Impact on all countries at different
levels
• VN had capital growth rate of around
6% (in 2007 and 2008), but in 2009 only around 3%
The conflict between
the countries in the
world and in the
region
• Conclusion: In the context of Vietnam
and the world business activities of the
enterprises in general and SOEs in
particular are heavily affected

In 2011, 18 SEGs and SCs, especially the Vietnam Oil and Gas, the Military
Telecom, and Textile and Garment Group, gained over VND 128 thousand billion
profit, paid VND 200 trillion on the state buget, increase of 20% over the previous
year.

LIMITATIONS
- Cumbersome structure,

- State-backed
- Impact of subsidy

mechanism in the past
- The lack of business
management
renovation
- The weakness of the
state agencies in the
management of SEGs
and SCs
CONSEQUENCES
- Easily spiral out of
control
and
management capacity
of the SEGs and SC
- Loose management,
lack of unity and
connection between
the unit members in
the economic groups
and corporations
WEAKNESS OF THE STATE MANAGEMENT
AGENCIES FOR SOEs
1. A number of mechanisms and policies is lately promulgated and
untimely responses to the reality and solves the practical
requirements
Investment widespread outside and loss of VINASHIN and
VINLINES have appeared in the early 2000's. However, due to the
stagnation of the inspection and supervision of state agencies,
especially slow implementation of the state auditor, the consequence
is often serious and difficult to overcome
WEAKNESS OF THE GOVERNMENT BODIES IN
MANAGING SOEs
2. Inadequate, awkward, inefficient implementation of the
rights and obligations of state owners in SOEs
Consequences
SEGs, SCs are huge
organizations having a
wide areas of operation,
and operating in multisector and are newly
established in recent
years
The leaders of SEGs and
SCs are inexperienced;
and the State agencies
are
embarrassed
in
managing,
administerring
and
handling arised problems
Some SEGs and
SCs do not comply
with the provisions
of
the
Government;
leaders are less
concerned
about
contributing to the
State
budget;
activities
lack
transparency,
especially in the
financial sector
CAUSES OF THE LIMITATIONS
The summary of the causes
Objective
causes
Subjective
reasons
• The effects of financial crisis, the global economic
downturn and negative aspects of uncontrolled market
mechanisms
• High interest on bank loans, inflation, consumer price
index, consumption stagnation of state corporations …
• Increase of a firm size while the level and capacity of the
management have not kept pace.
• Incentives for the SEGs and SEs are too much
• Supervisory capacity and mechanisms of the State management
agencies for the operation of SOEs are limited
• The legal documents specified activities of SOEs are inconsistent
and insufficient

The goal of restructuring state-owned enterprises
Under the project
"Restructuring of SOEs,
focusing on SEGs, SCs
2011-2015" of the Prime
Minister
SOE has a more reasonable
structure, focusing on sectors,
key areas, providing products,

accordance with the international corporate
governance convention; improve internal audit
controls mechanism, improve the management
Contents of SOEs’s restructuring
By early August, 7 out of 11 SEGs submit to the government a
scheme to restructure their groups.
- Actual deployment of the main contents of the restructuring
scheme in the economic groups and corporations:
-Business management model
- Finance investment
- Corporate governance system
- Human Resource Development
During 8 recent months, 53 economic groups and state corporations
have completed and submitted their scheme in which 9 were
approved
The limitations in the construction of the scheme
of SEGs and SCs
 Inconsistency of basic topics related to restructuring content
 Serious about assessing the situation; restructuring the content is simple,
asynchronous
 Scheme write very detailed full, the Viet Nam Oil and Gas Corporation: page 155,
but the group write very short, only chemicals group summary with 31 pages
 Lack of detail on some of the content, such as finance, corporate governance, human
resource development
 "If SOEs in general and SEGs in particular have not yet trully perceived about the
restructuring and restructuring has not yet their demand, they still use casuistry”
(Source: Mr. Vo Tri Thanh, Deputy Director of CIEM , "Restructuring SOEs: A
weighty achievement and casuistry project", Vietnam Economics Times, No. 194,
14 August 2012, p.5 )

equitization of SEGs and SCs
and SOEs of the ministries,
branches, localities.
• It is expected that in 2020,
there will be 17 corporations,
in which the State holds 100%
of the charter capital.
Roadmap of SOEs’ restructuring
Prof. Douglas Coulter from Harvard University
Business said that there are basically two types
of restructuring
Passive restructuring: is that the corporations
keep waiting, when the crisis begins, the
corporation will reform to survive
Active restructuring: is that the companies
actively cope with the challenges in the future for
further development
Vietnam mainly ongoing passive restructuring
The difficulties and challenges facing the process of
restructuring SOEs
The national financial system is
not strong enough to effectively
support the restructuring of
enterprises

The difficulty and
instability of the
world economy in
recent years

Difficulties
The
settlemen
and
placement of employment
and
redundant
labor
within SOEs in the
restructuring process

It is not easy to
have
full
recognition
and
unified action in
the
political
system, especially
the heads of SEGs
and
SCs,
for
restructuring
Group interests are
interfered
The national financial system is not strong enough
to effectively support the restructuring
According to the Minister of Finance Ministry, Mr. Vuong
Dinh Hue, VND 55,000 billion to 65,000 billion (equivalent
to USD 24 billion to USD 32 billion) are estimated to be
needed to restructure SOE including debt restructuring,
settlement of losses and redundant labor… This is a
matter of concern because it will increase public debt,
create a burden for the economy but according to Mr. Hue
"we need to make a patient stronger prior to treat the
diseases and it is the same in every country”
Is it more effective or should we treat the
disease before taking a supplement?
Group interests are interfered
“Group interest” means a group of people who have
common interest affecting the agencies, who may make
decisions in favor of themselves and those interests and
decisions go against the interests of the collective. The
groups interests cause disorder and economic losses of
the country.
At the conference "SOEs’ Restructuring" organized by the
Academy of Finance (MOF) in November 15, 2011, many
argue that "The restructuring SOEs will be extremely
difficult because it touchs the benefits of powerful groups”
42www.themeg
Difficulties in dealing with employment and
redundant labor
Organizational restructuring and staff will narrow the
production and focus on major business; organizational
structure more compact and human resources will reduce, so
redundant capacity to work will be happen
The Challenge
- Policy regime for workers is inadequate
- Unemployment rate is high and Unemployment is great
- Life of workers is difficult
For every SEGs and SCs:
- Limited awareness of leaders as well as the employees on
the benefits of the restructuring
- Psychology afraid to change
- Weak management capacity of leades,
- Capital shortage.
Some solutions to solve difficulties to implement
SOEs’ restructuring
Reduce debt,
rescheduling and
delay repayment for
businesses in trouble
Reduce public
investment
spending
Implement
Government's
proposal on
restructuring SOEs
Reduce interest
rate of banks
Improve operational
efficiency of banks,
minimize bad debts
Considerations when restructuring SOEs
The Government
should resolutely
eliminate subsidies
and incentives for
SOEs
The formation of
SEGs should follow
the principles of
voluntariness,
autonomy and
intrinsic needs of
the enterprise
The strict control of
the State
management
agencies and serious
implementation for
each SOE
Restructuring can
cause huge financial
pressure
The equitization can
lead to a section of
SOE assets is
passed into the
hands of private
shareholders
Losses and debts can
be shared and
validated after the
restructuring process
Implement a
comprehensive
study of the
typical models of
SEG in the world
Develop training
programs for
managers of
SEGs
