According to the Department of Planning and Investment, the estimated damage of the Covid-19 pandemic to businesses in the province in the first 6 months of 2020 would be up to 9 trillion VND compared to the same period in 2019. The reason is that many businesses are having difficulties in output for products, so they have to temporarily reduce production and business.

Enterprises and businesses face the pandemic

The Covid-19 pandemic is still complicated in many countries around the world. To prevent the pandemic from spreading to many countries, many orders from foreign partners in the US and Europe have also been halted for import because of the low rate of procurement. In addition, many shipping agents also refuse to transport orders of companies to the affected areas. Many enterprises in the province have rotated their work temporarily to until the peak of the pandemic passes.

Mr. Bui Quang Hoi, Director of Bui Chan Hung Co., Ltd. (Bien Hoa City) shared: “The company's wooden products are mainly exported to the US, our partner planned to import the products when the pandemic passes. As a result, the company's goods are temporarily stored in the warehouse, waiting for the post-pandemic to be exported. The goods have not been exported, so the partner has not paid us, resulting in many difficulties in capital”. Hoi also expressed that he hopes the province will soon implement urgent measures to support enterprises to extend old loans and lend more capital at low interest rates to maintain production and find other markets to sell products.

Other businesses in the area severely affected by the Covid-19 pandemic also have the utmost expectation to enjoy the capital support package, loan interest rate reduction, debt freezing, tax payment time extension, etc. to overcome this tough time. Thus, businesses would be stronger to restore production and business after the pandemic.

Mr. Nguyen Van Hoang, General Director of Dong Tien Joint Stock Company (Bien Hoa City) said that the company had to give employees a rotating break because the goods exported to Europe and the US temporarily stopped due to the pandemic. Currently, the company hopes that the Government and the province will quickly implement solutions to support businesses on preferential loans to make payment to more than 9,000 employees.

However, they still need timely support from the Government and the province to face and overcome difficulties caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Chairman Cao Tien Dung also required departments, branches and localities to continue to strongly improve the investment and business environment, focusing on resolving investment procedures for businesses to soon start projects and put works into operation and use. It is neccessary to carry out labor trainings and resolve employment issues in 2020; and speed up the implementation of projects and disburse the remaining public investment plans of 2019 and 2020.
