HANOI, March 12 (Reuters) - Vietnam�s economy is likely to grow by 7.41 percent in the first quarter this year, led by robust exports and tourism, according to Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc, a statement posted on a government website said on Monday. The tourism sector in the January-March period likely grew by 60 percent while total trade will be up by 40 percent from a year earlier, Phuc told a gathering of Vietnamese during an official visit to New Zealand, it added. If achieved, the figure would be the highest first quarter growth in years, well above the expansion of 5.15 percent in the first quarter of last year. Vietnam�s growth is often lower in the first quarter than the rest of the year, due to a week-long holiday for the Lunar New Year, which often falls in February. Phuc also said Vietnam is likely to post a trade surplus of nearly $2 billion in the three-month period, according to the statement."

Japanese newswire Nikkei reported that the Japanese government and more than 20 large Japanese firms including Sumitomo, Mitsubishi, Panasonic, and Tokyo Metro are planning to join a gigantic project worth over $37 billion to build a smart city project in northern Hanoi. The 310-hectarea project, with property developer BRG being the Vietnamese partner, is expected to be completed in 2023. It is also expected that in October 2018, construction starts on about 7,000 buildings. Early this month, leading steel maker Hoa Phat Group, teamed up with Italy's Danieli, one of the world largest suppliers of metallurgical equipment, on a giant stainless steel production project. The project will have a designed capacity of 600,000 tonnes per annum, which could be increased to one million tonnes per annum. Cho Hyun Joon, chairman of leading South Korean textile and chemical firm Hyosung, said that the group commits to strengthening co-operation with Vietnam, not only in processing pdex and yarn for automotive tyres, but also in chemicals and heavy industries. Last year, Hyosung poured a total of $1.3 billion into a polypropylene manufacturing plant and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) underground storage facility in Cai Mep Industrial Zone in the early this year, Japanese industrial giant Mitsubishi Motors unveiled a plan to build its second automotive manufacturing facility in Vietnam, valued at $250 million in total investment capital. The plant is slated to be completed in 2020 with an annual production capacity ranging from 30,000 to 50,000 car units, serving both domestic and export markets. According to a recent Dong Nai Department of Planning and Investment report, the southern province solicited $62.2 million in foreign direct investment (FDI) capital in the first month of the year, a 50 per cent jump on-year.

Strong prospects as economy heats up In 2016, the American PE firm also partnered with VinaCapital in a $300-million joint venture for hospitality investments across Southeast Asia. The joint venture then bought out Hanoi-based Sofitel Legend Metropole Hotel from VinaCapital in last February. Standard Chartered Bank forecasts that Vietnam�s GDP will grow by at least 6.8 per cent this year, with inflation and foreign exchange rates remaining stable. About half of the 100-million Vietnamese population is now under 30, and at least 33 million people are expected to become middle-class consumers by 2020. Consumption in the country is booming as disposable incomes increase. With this in mind, PE investors are about to strike when the iron is hot. In a recent note to investors, Andy Ho, chief investment officer of VinaCapital, noted that PE deals will take up 20 per cent of Vietnam Opportunity Fund within the next three years, compared to the current 8.1 per cent threshold. �Vietnam Opportunity Fund is focusing PE investments in the consumer and infrastructure sectors to gain exposure to Vietnam�s growing middle class and the government�s infrastructure spending over the next five years,� wrote Ho. Rising investors� attention also makes it easier for current PE investors to make a profitable exit. Mekong Capital, for example, collected $79 million in net proceeds from its withdrawals during the first ten months of 2017. In the Mobile World sale to Creador last month, the PE fund recorded a historic internal returns rate of 61.1 per cent, one of the highest ever in Asia. Source VietStock News today.

The Vietnam stock market re-opens tomorrow after the Linar New Year Holidays.
Well that must be a matter for your own judgement. If you believe that GPD growth, rising exports and inward investment, the competitiveness of Vietnam, Increasing company profits, cash flow and dividends has abruptly come to halt, then clearly this is not for you to invest in. ? Are you mistaking a general market hiccup which started in the US and gave market makers and large institutions the opportunity to put large buy orders in whilst the MMs walked the share price down ? In my own view as a holder and buyer on dips Vietnam and VOF have a long way to go in terms of growth from a currently exceptional frontier market ?
I'm curious about the rah,rah of VOF. The buys on the drops, are these in anticipation of the share price recovering to around 370 or is it accepted that as with so much else it may have been overpriced even considering the nav.
Vnindex up 3.77% on bargain hunting.
US overnight roiled again. Vietnam closed 1.89% down having been lower during the the day. VOF adding again at this level 331/335
Looking at the US market today the ‘flash crash’ may be over.
