VietNamNet Bridge – The ‘super projects’ registered by foreign investors with huge investment capital of billions of dollars are still on paper.

In 2008, when reporting about the Vietnam Financial Center (VFC) project licensed by HCMC authorities, local newspapers called it a ‘super project’. It was expected to include three high-rise 48-storey buildings for offices, shopping malls and 5-star international hotels.

However, the project remains on paper. In 2014, Berjaya, the investor, asked for the municipal authorities’ permission to scale down the project by half. Tiếp tục đọc “Huge foreign-invested real estate projects remain on paper” →

(TBKTSG) – Số liệu chính thức cho thấy dự trữ ngoại hối của Việt Nam tính đến hết quí 3-2017 đạt 45 tỉ đô la Mỹ, tăng thêm 6 tỉ đô la Mỹ so với cuối năm 2016. Như vậy, dự trữ ngoại hối của Việt Nam đã có sự tăng trưởng “thần kỳ” trong năm 2016 và 2017.

Cần một sự tăng trưởng bền vững hơn

Theo đó, Ngân hàng Nhà nước (NHNN) đã mua được khoảng 11 tỉ đô la Mỹ trong năm 2016 và khoảng 6 tỉ đô la Mỹ trong chín tháng đầu năm 2017. Tuy nhiên, nếu nhìn lại dữ liệu lịch sử thì có lẽ chúng ta cần một sự tăng trưởng bền vững hơn của dự trữ ngoại hối thay vì tăng sốc như hai năm gần đây.

A survey conducted by Grant Thornton earlier this year found that the healthcare & pharmacy market is among the three business fields most attractive to foreign investors. The other two are food & beverages and retail.

Foreign investors have been increasing their presence in Vietnam by buying stake in Vietnamese pharmacy firms. Tiếp tục đọc “Foreign capital flows to Vietnam’s pharmacy sector” →

Samsung signed an agreement to cooperate with the Minh Phuong Logistics Corporation, one of Vietnam’s leading logistics companies, in July, according to South Korean media, and this was not the first time it has announced an investment in Vietnam’s logistic market.

Despite having fallen to the fourth position in terms of foreign direct investment in the first eight months of 2017, the real estate sector remains the second-biggest recipient of this type of investment to date.

Though realty is fourth in FDI for eight months, it remains the second-largest earner overall

According to the Ministry of Planning and Investment’s Foreign Investment Agency, between January and August 20, the real estate sector stood in fourth with regards to foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows – with 46 newly-registered projects and 15 others increasing their capital, totalling more than $1.16 billion.

Real estate FDI is behind the sectors of manufacturing and processing ($11.69 billion), power processing and distribution ($5.36 billion), and mining ($1.28 billion). Tiếp tục đọc “Real estate remains 2nd largest FDI lurer in VN” →

FDI flow into real estate: a cause for concern?

VietNamNet Bridge – Real estate ranked fourth among the most attractive business fields for foreign investors, with registered FDI capital of $1.15 billion in the first half of the year.
According to Savills Vietnam, the increase in FDI in the manufacturing sector has prompted investors to pour money into projects to develop industrial infrastructure.

Thai company Hemaraj Land & Development and Vietnamese firm Cienco 4 last May confirmed cooperation to set up a joint venture to develop an IZ on an area of 3,200 hectares in Nghe An province, capitalized at $1 billion.

Many deals were made in the first half of the year. Japanese firm Nishi Nippon and Hankyu joined forces with Vietnamese firm Nam Long to develop Mizuki Park residential quarter on an area of 26 hectares in Binh Chanh district, HCMC, capitalized at $351 million.

Meanwhile, Aeon Mall has teamed up with BIM Group to develop Aeon’s second shopping mall in Hanoi, covering an area of 16.7 hectares in a $200 million project. Son Kim Lan has successfully called for $100 million worth of investment capital from a Japanese investor.

The increase in FDI in the manufacturing sector has prompted investors to pour money into projects to develop industrial infrastructure.

Housing projects continue attracting attention from investors. Chinese firm Fortune Land Development has bought Lotus Dai Phuoc shares from VinaCapital, worth $65.3 million. This is a residential quarter project covering an area of 198.5 hectares in an area of Dong Nai province adjacent to HCMC.

A 65 percent stake in Times Square complex worth $41 million has been transferred by VinaCapital to Elite Capital Resources Limited.

Analysts have predicted that FDI flow into the real estate sector will continue in the time to come thanks to open policies and the great potential in tourism development. However, they warned that the amount of capital into the market needs to be measured by disbursed capital, not registered capital.

Many registered projects have not been implemented. Booyuong Mo Lao project in Ha Dong district, for example, has been left unimplemented for years.

Nguyen Tri Hieu, a respected banking expert, commented on Dau Tu Bat Dong San that more FDI capital is good news, but that is necessary to reconsider the situation if too much capital flows into the real estate sector. If the capital only goes to high-end real estate and resort projects, it will only heat up the market and lead to oversupply in the market segment, and not propel socio-economic development.

Phan Huu Thang, former head of the Foreign Investment Agency, now chair of the Vietnam Real Estate Association, affirmed that FDI real estate projects would still be welcomed. The problem is that Vietnam needs to supervise project implementation to ensure sustainability in investment and development.

Over $600 million of FDI poured into VN property in 5 months
