…BUT NOT ALL GOOD NEWS• Disappointing growth in past few
years• Inefficiencies due to unclear policies,
inconsistent enforcement, and corruption — i.e. weak market institutions
• SOEs: Highly inefficient, indebted, yet privileged and still ~30% of GDP
• Substantial skepticism from domestic and foreign investors due to many delays in follow through on reform promises

FDI & DOMESTIC PRIVATE SECTORS: VIETNAM’S ENGINES OF GROWTH

SOES: THE PRIMARY BREAK ON VIETNAMESE GROWTH
![Page 10: FROM CONTROL TO MARKET - NUS Business School€¦ · FROM CONTROL TO MARKET Time for Real SOE Reform in Vietnam? State-owned Enterprise Roundtable April 8, 2015 Dr. Markus Taussig](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042220/5ec65262099029274342e5b8/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
STATE SECTOR CHALLENGES• Inefficient users of scarce resources,
including capital, credit, and human resources
✓ Confused mandate: social responsibilities?
✓ Weak incentives for management and employees
✓ Overly focused on capital-intensive industries (given comparative advantage)
• Opportunistic diversification into unrelated industries like real estate and finance
• Insufficiently transparent — even vis-a-vis the state itself!

–Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Tan DungApril 1, 2015
“Privatizing SOEs is not only to get funds for investment in other important areas,
but the ultimate purpose is to let companies operate more efficiently.”
![Page 13: FROM CONTROL TO MARKET - NUS Business School€¦ · FROM CONTROL TO MARKET Time for Real SOE Reform in Vietnam? State-owned Enterprise Roundtable April 8, 2015 Dr. Markus Taussig](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042220/5ec65262099029274342e5b8/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
WHY STILL ON HOLD?• Incumbent interest groups
• Sensitive politics of wealth transfer
• More substantively, SOEs do partially substitute for weak institutions
✓ greater regulatory compliance in context of weak enforcement
✓ greater propensity to pay taxes
• Privatization will not immediately result in stronger government capacity — but may immediately result in lower government revenues
“While MobiFone accounts for 50-60 percent of VNPT’s earnings, according
to state media, the privatization is part of Hanoi’s efforts to encourage
VNPT to develop other existing businesses, like multimedia services
and information technology, to cement its role as a leadingforce in the telecom sector.”
