Hanoi always accompanies and removes difficulties for businesses
Speaking at the opening of the Conference, Deputy Director of Hanoi Department of Finance Le Trung Hieu said that over the years, Hanoi has always accompanied and implemented many solutions to support and remove difficulties for the business community, contributing to improving the investment and business environment, enhancing provincial competitiveness. The city has been proactively researching and developing flexible and effective investment attraction mechanisms and policies, focusing on investment incentives by industry and location.
At the same time, comprehensive support for businesses will be enhanced through the establishment of special working groups to promptly resolve difficulties and maintain regular dialogue channels. Accordingly, the city's FDI attraction results in the first 6 months of 2025 increased dramatically with more than 3.67 billion USD, up 216% over the same period in 2024 and rose to the top of the country.

The number of newly registered enterprises has increased sharply, with the Business Registration and Enterprise Finance Department (Department of Finance) processing 500-1,000 new registration applications per day. This confirms that investors have confidence in Hanoi's investment environment. Despite many remarkable results, there are still many difficulties and obstacles in terms of institutions and policies...
"Today's meeting is an opportunity for the Department of Finance to hope that business associations will join and actively coordinate with Hanoi city to build an investment promotion ecosystem, support strong businesses, and connect management agencies with business associations to create a solid foundation for Hanoi to be a destination that not only attracts but also retains investors," emphasized Deputy Director of the Department of Finance Le Trung Hieu.
At the same time, it is expected that this will be a space for sincere and open exchange for the Department of Finance to listen to the enthusiastic comments, wishes and specific proposals of associations; as a basis for the Department of Finance to synthesize, report and advise the City on solutions that bring maximum value to the business community, ensuring timeliness, efficiency and compliance with regulations.
Many proposals and recommendations on premises and support policies
At the conference, representatives of associations made many proposals and recommendations, focusing mainly on premises, policies, networks and support. Chairwoman of the Hanoi Handicraft and Craft Villages Association Ha Thi Vinh said that activities in craft villages are very important, not only with the task of economic development but also preserving cultural identity. However, currently, members of the Association are facing difficulties in terms of premises.
Therefore, the Hanoi Department of Finance should have a solution to build a craft village industrial cluster so that business households and enterprises can be supported in renting premises in the industrial cluster to serve production and business.
In addition, authorities need to allow for increased construction height in industrial clusters to facilitate investment in technology and equipment, thereby helping businesses boost production.
A representative of the Hanoi Association of Women Small and Medium Enterprises proposed that there should be a fund to support small and medium enterprises owned by women, and at the same time, there should be policies to support loans, premises, technology, 1:1 consulting, and organize training classes for women to start businesses...
Meanwhile, Permanent Vice President of the Hanoi Supporting Industry Business Association (HANSIBA) Nguyen Van stated that the Department of Finance should advise the City to develop policies and mechanisms suitable to the reality of each enterprise. Along with that, promote activities to promote domestic and international investment for enterprises in the capital.
Sharing the same view, Vice Chairman and General Secretary of the Hanoi Young Entrepreneurs Association Tran Van Minh hopes that the Department of Finance will advise the City to organize programs to promote product output and markets for businesses; at the same time, review and evaluate the results of implementing policies to support businesses because during the implementation process, some businesses still face difficulties.

Ms. Tran Thi Phuong Lan, former Acting Director of the Hanoi Department of Industry and Trade, said that the City has had many policies to support investment attraction, trade promotion, startup promotion, etc. However, the annual policy mechanisms often change, and there are many shortcomings and overlaps in the documents. Therefore, it is necessary to review these mechanisms and policies.
Regarding the field of investment promotion, according to Ms. Tran Thi Phuong Lan, this field has two aspects including promoting foreign investment into Hanoi and promoting investment from Vietnam abroad. Regarding foreign investment promotion into Vietnam, Ms. Lan said that we should focus on calling for investment in high-tech zones, meeting the needs of businesses, the trend of developing green and clean industry in the City; at the same time, investing in the fields of financial services, services, entertainment, healthcare, education . In addition, it is necessary to invest in craft villages, attract investment in the field of deep processing...
Regarding Vietnam's investment promotion abroad, Ms. Lan suggested that the Hanoi Investment Promotion and Enterprise Support Center could research new markets, markets that Vietnam has signed Free Trade Agreements (FTAs), and emerging markets so that businesses can invest in. The center is a "bridge" of information, supporting businesses to connect with foreign countries...
Regarding industrial clusters, Ms. Tran Thi Phuong Lan suggested promoting investment in industrial cluster infrastructure to speed up the operation of industrial clusters (in addition to the 43 existing industrial clusters in Hanoi); it is necessary to study how to support small and medium enterprises and business households to be able to rent premises to develop production and business in a green, clean and beautiful direction.
Investment promotion work will be actively innovated.
At the end of the meeting, Deputy Director of Hanoi Department of Finance Le Trung Hieu acknowledged the opinions and proposals of the associations and said that he would forward them to relevant agencies of the City.
In the coming time, the Department of Finance will continue to implement solutions to support and remove difficulties and obstacles for businesses, especially in handling administrative procedures, improving the investment and business environment, digital transformation in the government system and supporting businesses...

According to Deputy Director of Hanoi Department of Finance Le Trung Hieu, investment promotion will be actively innovated, strongly applying digital transformation so that investment attraction policies, incentives, information on investment calling projects... will be publicized as quickly as possible to the domestic and foreign business community, ensuring transparency and efficiency. The city will digitize the entire investment process, design diagrams and publicize them on digital platforms so that all businesses can easily access information.
At the same time, we wish to continue to accompany and coordinate with business associations, business communities, and entrepreneurs, especially in investment promotion and business support.
"In the short term, the Department will organize the Investment Promotion Conference "Hanoi 2025 - Connecting and Developing". This conference will give specific messages such as announcing to investors about policies, portfolios, capital sources, and at the same time collect information to narrow down areas, from which there will be smaller promotions after the conference...", said Mr. Le Trung Hieu.
