HCM City (VNA) – The equitisation of State-owned enterprises (SOEs) should be stepped up towards transparency in line with the market mechanism, heard a workshop in Ho Chi Minh City on June 23.
Le Trong Sang, head of the HCM City department of business renewal and management, underlined the need to intensify inspection and supervision in order to avoid losses of State capital and assets.
