In the textile industry - leading the field of export revenues - are witnessing the bankruptcy of many enterprises (companies) which causes small private mainly because of lack of orders. In other areas, small and medium enterprises are facing many difficulties, including the biggest problems is the shortage of capital and consumption.

Another difficulty is the expert noted that the inventory of businesses increased by reducing consumption. Vu Vinh Phu, Chairman of the Ha Noi Supermarket, according to the information agency, power consumption has dropped 30% over the same period last year. Inventory of the DN is also the largest number for many years, common at 20% - 60%, mainly plastics, wood, steel, cement ... Retail sales in 9 months to remove the price factor only increased 3.9% compared with 11% of the average of recent years.

In addition, the deployment of synchronous policies of the management body is also a blow to companies while exhausted. The most obvious is the increase in land rent when implementing Decree 121/2010/ND-CP of the Government (previously done under Decree 142/2005/ND-CP), where the land rent has increased several dozen times higher than operating profit due to the local tax department is not uniform pricing for different types of land.
