| Economist Can Van Luc shares insights at the event |
The seminar was organized by the Department of Finance in coordination with the City Young Entrepreneurs Association, with support from the City Startup Club and FPT Polytechnic. The key speaker was Dr. Can Van Luc, Chief Economist of BIDV and member of the Prime Minister’s Economic Advisory Council.
At the seminar, Dr. Can Van Luc analyzed both global and domestic economic contexts marked by multiple fluctuations, including inflationary pressures, rising logistics costs, and shifts in global supply chains. Domestically, the economy continues to face challenges related to demand, capital flows, and business competitiveness.
Based on this analysis, the speaker proposed several key solution groups for businesses, including enhancing governance capacity, proactively advancing digital transformation, diversifying markets and supply sources, and effectively leveraging government support policies. In particular, amid increasing risks, businesses need to strengthen financial management, control costs, and develop flexible response scenarios.
Beyond being a platform for information sharing, the seminar also served as an opportunity for the city’s business community to exchange ideas, build connections, and voice difficulties and obstacles in production and business activities. Many opinions focused on issues such as access to capital, rising input costs, and the need to expand consumer markets.
Through the program, management agencies and partner organizations expect to help businesses improve adaptability and seize opportunities arising from the new context, thereby contributing positively to local economic growth.
According to Chairman of the City Young Entrepreneurs Association Tran Duc Minh, the seminar provides a forum for the business community to better identify major economic trends, analyze their impacts on Vietnam’s economy, and exchange and propose appropriate solutions, policies, and development models. In the current context, businesses need to proactively restructure, innovate growth models, and effectively leverage new drivers to adapt and achieve sustainable development.
