The job exchange will perform the State management overworkforce and employers in both public and private sectors, and providerelevant information, he said, asking the Ministry of Labour, Invalids andSocial Affairs (MoLISA) to coordinate with other ministries and agencies tostandardise data and bring together job centres, making it easier forlocalities, businesses, and labourers to access services.

The Deputy PM stressed the need to step up theonline job exchange model and take solutions to enable brokerage centres tojoin it in order to ensure rights and interests of guest workers.

MoLISA Deputy Minister Le Van Thanh reported thatthe country counts 82 public job centres and about 500 businesses offeringprivate services in this regard.

He also pointed to obstacles to the sector regardingthe legal system, infrastructure, IT, personnel and data; and suggested theissuance of regulations on data and information standardisation, and theenhancement of supervisions over job transactions, especially those conductedonline.

Regarding the national property and land use right exchange,Ha said it should be opened for both public and private sectors, noting thatprivate exchanges should receive favourable conditions to grow healthily.   

There should be mechanisms to encourageorganisations and individuals to conduct real estate transactions and exercise landuse rights not for business purposes on the trading floor, he added.  

According to the Deputy Minister of ConstructionNguyen Van Sinh, as of the end of 2020, Vietnam had more than 1,600 real estateexchanges, which have played a role in preventing informal transactions and taxlosses, and providing information for state management agencies.

The construction ministry will work harder to ensurea healthy, transparent investment environment, and form State information managementtools to regulate the market in a timely manner, he said./.
