BRIEF 19/3
Banks offer preferential credit packages to businesses
Banks
have launched credit packages with preferential interest rates, aiming to
assist capital sources for businesses and further boost domestic production.
The
Bank for Investment and Development of Viet Nam (BIDV) has introduced a new
credit package worth VND20 trillion (US$892.8 million), with a preferential
interest rate from now until mid-2018.
Accordingly,
borrowers can enjoy an annual interest rate of 6.5 per cent for short-term
loans and from 7.2 per cent for long-term loans. Besides, customers who seek
to do business would join many preferential programmes from other services,
such as internet banking and insurance.
Since
the beginning of this year, BIDV successfully implemented two preferential
packages worth VND25 trillion to support manufacturing businesses.
Meanwhile,
Southeast Asia Joint Stock Commercial Bank (SeABank) has also launched a new
programme, which provides preferential loans to corporate customers.
Borrowers
could receive up to VND1.5 trillion at an annual rate of 7.5 per cent for loans
in Vietnamese dong and 3 per cent for loans in US dollar. Based on financial
needs, the bank will provide the best consultancy services to help
enterprises improve the efficiency of capital.
In
fact, many Vietnamese enterprises, especially small- and medium-sized
enterprises (SMEs) are still facing long-standing difficulties in accessing
loans.
According
to banking and financial expert Can Van Luc, most SMEs have a low management
capacity and outdated technology, they lack transparency in information and
feasible business plans, and do not have adequate assets for mortgages,
making them ineligible for banking loans
Credit
institutions are hesitant to lend SMEs money for the same reasons. Luc noted
that these problems were compounded by complex banking procedures and a
shortage of appropriate loan packages for SMEs.
Hoang
Thi Hong, director of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises Development Fund
under the Ministry of Planning and Investment, said it was necessary to
develop a database about SMEs for credit institutions to use while
evaluating.
In
addition, capital-raising channels should be diversified, rather than largely
dependent on banks, for instance, while raising capital from the securities
market, Hong said.
State Treasury mobilises nearly US$1.5bn from G-bonds
The
State Treasury of Viet Nam has so far successfully mobilised VND34 trillion
(US$1.49 billion) via Government bond (G-bond) auctions.
This
accounts for more than 75 per cent of the total bonds planned to issue in the
first quarter of this year.
According
to the latest report of Bao Viet Securities Company (BVSC), in the auction
last week alone, the State Treasury offered for sale a large volume of
20-year and 30-year G-bonds worth VND4 trillion.
At
the auction, 99 per cent and 96 per cent of the 20-year and 30-year bonds,
respectively, were bought at the interest rates of 5.1 per cent and 5.39 per
cent, down 0.1 and 0.01 percentage points against the previous auction,
respectively.
According
to BVSC, the success of these auctions comes from the abundant liquidity in
the banking system after Tet (Vietnamese Lunar New Year) holidays.
Thanks
to the good liquidity, the interest rate of dong loans in the inter-bank
market last week decline sharply by 0.29 to 0.49 percentage points for most
terms against the previous week.
Specifically,
the overnight rate dropped to 0.91 per cent against more than 3 per cent
before Tet. The rates for one-week and two-week loans also reduced to 1.17
and 1.44 per cent, respectively.
The
National Financial Supervisory Commission has predicted that the G-bond
market in 2018 will see modest changes against last year, thanks to the
economic growth of more than 6.7 per cent and inflation of below 4 per cent.
The
value of G-bonds issued in 2018 is estimated at some VND180 trillion, with
the focus being on long-term maturity and keeping the interest rate at low
levels.
G-bonds
worth VND159.9 trillion and having an average maturity of 13.52 years, up
4.81 years against 2016, were issued last year. The bonds had an average
annual interest rate of some 6.07 per cent, down 0.2 percentage points
against 2016, the Ministry of Finance said.

was said by Dutch Agricultural Counsellor in Viet Nam Arie Veldhuizen at a
conference in Ha Noi on Wednesday to connect Vietnamese and Dutch
agricultural businesses. The conference was organised by the Netherlands
Embassy in

said Dutch companies, such as De Heus, Friesland Campina and PejaViet
According
to an assessment of the Netherlands Embassy in
The
growth in agriculture is not only attributed to the efforts of Vietnamese
enterprises but also Viet Nam’s Government, which is showing increasing
concern about the development of chain goods and has been investing in modern
machinery and technology to increase the value and quality of products,
Veldhuizen said.
However,
many opinions suggest that the agricultural sector of
The
According
to Veldhuizen, to develop the agricultural sector towards the value chain, it
is important to link businesses together. As businesses of many countries
meet, they can explore and exchange new opportunities for co-operation in
future.
Vietnamese firms urged to work to win WB, ADB bids
Vietnamese
businesses should actively seek information and grasp the development and
investment strategies of banks to win bids for projects financed by the World
Bank (WB) and Asian Development Bank (ADB), said representatives of the two
banks on Thursday.
The
information was released in Ha Noi at the workshop entitled “Winning
Contracts in the Asian Development Bank and the World Bank Financed Projects”
co-hosted by the two banks and the Viet Nam Chamber of Commerce and Industry
(VCCI).
Achim
Fock, Portfolio & Operations Manager in the World Bank office in
There
are currently 47 projects in various sectors, with the largest investment
being related to infrastructure such as construction, water supply and
drainage and transport.
It
is expected that in the 2018-20 period, the WB will lend
Head
of Project Administration Unit of ADB in Viet Nam Steven Schipani said the
ADB would focus more on transport, energy and water supply this year. Capital
would focus on the transport sector, he said, but would not be small for
other sectors.
The
total capital of all ADB projects in Viet Nam as of March 2018 was 59
projects with a total capital of US$7.5 billion, of which $3.5 billion had
not yet been disbursed, so Vietnamese companies would have many opportunities
to join ADB-financed projects, Steven said.
At
the workshop, World Bank’s representative introduced new features in the
bidding framework that is applied by both the WB and the ADB.
The
new policy framework will minimise risk by providing more options and tools,
increasing efficiency by offering tailored procurement mechanisms that are applicable
to all types of tender. The banks’ core procurement principles include
fairness, transparency, efficiency, fit for purpose, value of money and
integrity.
"For
the first time, the two Banks will allow any contract award decisions to be
based on criteria other than lowest price, including quality and
sustainability and has significantly improved the approach to resolving
procurement-related complaints," Achim said.
According
to Luu Hong Giang, deputy general director of Bach Dang Construction Corporation,
which has participated in many projects funded by the WB and ADB, in
comparison with foreign companies, Vietnamese enterprises have an advantage
because they are active in soliciting the labour force.
However,
it is common for domestic bidders to be unable to participate in large scale
projects administered by the two banks. "We still have limited financial
capacity, construction and administration," said Giang.
In
addition, the evaluation criteria of the previous technical dossier are not
clear and detailed, so many businesses struggle to compile bidding dossiers.
"However,
at the present, with the new procurement policy framework, these problems are
basically handled. Domestic contractors can fully compete with foreign
contractors when taking part in international biddings," said Giang.
Steven
said that enterprises seeking bids must understand the requirements of
bidding documents and ensure they meet such requirements. With large WB and
ADB contracts, businesses can set up joint ventures or use subcontractors,
considering individual consultancy services to gain experience and build
capacity profiles.
He
said it was important to ask the investor for feedback after being rejected
for a bid, in order to learn from mistakes and draw experiences to succeed in
the future.
"Vietnamese
enterprises need to be more active," Steven stressed.
Chairwoman
of VCCI’s Science and Technology Council Pham Thi Hang said the improvements
in the bidding mechanism were completed with significant contribution from
the Viet Nam Party and State, allowing private enterprises to access ODA
capital resources and learn more about financial institutions and the
processes of WB and ADB procurement.

is also applicable to pomelo grown in
At
the ceremony, NOIP director Dinh Huu Phi said the GI for green-skin pomelo
and green Xiem coconut would be the basis for enterprises and farmers to
develop their market and protect the quality and origin of the products.
He
said the GI certification was just the beginning and that in the process of
production and business, Ben Tre would face many challenges, especially
small-scale production, limitation in production co-operation, unstable
quality of product and weak level of joining in the value chain.
Vo
Thanh Hao, secretary of Ben Tre Province’s Party Committee, said after
receiving the GI certificate, the province would focus on choosing seeds to
preserve and improve the quality of the two products.
The
province will promote propaganda and publicity for the people, producers and
traders. They will become aware that the GI is the common property of the
province and of the nation. Therefore, individuals and organisations must be
responsible in preserving the GI tag and in developing the two products.
At
the same time, the province will build model gardens and organic gardens,
connect production and businesses and boost trade promotion through a system
of management tools for GI to develop the value chain, strictly manage
trademarks, build codes for tracing the origin and create trust for
consumers.
The
province has also scheduled the registration of GI abroad, especially in key
export markets, to develop trade promotion activities and increase exports of
the two products.
Green-skin
pomelo and green Xiem coconut are considered the major plants in
According
to the provincial Department of Industry and Trade, the GI registration is
expected to boost the value of the green Xiem coconut in the domestic market
and help expand exports to foreign markets such as the

water is sweeter and different from others in terms of nutrition and health
benefits.
The
pomelo, which got its name as its skin remains green even when it is ripe, is
much sought after in the market for its great taste. The fruit has thin skin,
few seeds and pink flesh.
The
GI recognition is expected to help Ben Tre expand the market for pomelo and
raise the income for local farmers.

While
Vietnamese enterprises in general and pharmaceutical firms in particular tend
to increase the foreign ownership limit (FOL), Cuu Long Pharmaceutical JSC
(Pharimexco), a member of F.I.T Group, goes against the stream by decreasing
the FOL to 32.57 per cent.
Vietnam
Securities Depository (VSD) issued the announcement permitting Pharimexco to
decrease the FOL from 49 to 32.57 per cent. This shows Pharimexco’s
commitment to be faithful to Rhinos Asset Management (RAM).
Earlier
in February this year, Pharimexco completed the $20-million sale of
convertible bonds in a private placement to an investment fund managed by
Rhinos Asset Management (RAM) from
As
per the agreement, after one year, if all convertible bonds were converted
into ordinary shares, which would mean RAM will hold approximately 18 million
shares worth VND25,000 ($1.10) each, around 24 per cent, to become a large
shareholder of the company.
Along
with the convertible bond sale, early this year Pharimexco permitted a
representative of RAM to join its board of directors. Furthermore, the
pharmaceutical has offered RAM to purchase over 25 per cent of voting shares.
The deal would take place without a public tender.

channel.
Last
year, the firm’s assets soared from VND845 billion ($37.1 million) to VND1.22
