Quite amazing when I know Egypt people eating rice, thought they eat "banh" as major food before.Viet Nam's export to Egypt reaches US$201 million
Thứ tư, 05 Tháng 9 2012 02:50
Viet Nam's export turnover to Egypt reached US$201 million in the first seven months of the year, said Viet Nam Ambassador to Egypt Dao Thanh Chung. Chung said the country's exports to Egypt in 2010 amounted to $200 million while last year's were $280 million, adding that Vietnamese enterprises have brought considerable goods into the market.
Viet Nam's main export items to Egypt have been rice, wooden furniture, consumption goods and seafood.
The latest report from the Ministry of Industry and Trade showed that Egypt has been the fourth largest country which imported Vietnamese goods among 67 countries having trade relations with Viet Nam.
Viet Nam has imported materials serving for production with a yearly average turnover of $20 million.
However, the ministry said that trade has not been up to the two countries' potentials despite increasing export turnover over the past few years. Chung urged Vietnamese businesses to penetrate further into the market.
He said the embassy would support and create favourable conditions for businesses to promote their trade in Egypt as well as expanding the range of export items available.
Egypt has been in need of agricultural products, cloth, electronics, mobile phones, machines and equipment.
He added that the two countries should establish a Viet Nam-Egypt Business Council to promote trade, investment and co-operation. The two countries aimed to bring their bilateral trade to $500 million.

At the moment, Viet Nam has 110 km of expressway completed, another 477 km and 130 km to be completed in 2014 and 2017 respectively. Building expressway in Viet Nam is mission impossible due to land clearance. A typical 50-km expressway in Viet Nam costs about $1 billion usd. According to the government, Viet Nam would need 5873 km of expressway

Vietnam Economic Outlook 2014: Exports, FDI To Support Growth

The future is looking brighter for Vietnam as the country begins the Year of the Horse, economists say.
“With global conditions improving and trade negotiations in the works, export-oriented firms will enjoy another year of robust growth,” said Trinh D Nguyen, an economist at HSBC, in a note. “Exports, especially foreign-invested manufacturing firms, will provide a boost to Vietnam’s growth [in 2014].”

Nguyen expects exports to rise 20 percent this year from 15.4 percent in 2013, which will help gross domestic product expand 5.6 percent in 2014, up from 5.4 percent in 2013.
Foreign direct investment (FDI) is likely to grow strongly in 2014, outpacing overall growth and resulting in a “two-speed” economy, Standard Chartered's Betty Rui Wang predicted.
“International manufacturers and investors are attracted to Vietnam’s low-cost labor pool and large domestic market … [they] are showing sustained investment interest in the country, despite structural challenges to the economy,” Wang said.
Registered FDI rose 95.8 percent to $13.1 billion in the first 10 months of 2013, and disbursed FDI rose 6.4 percent year-over-year to $9.6 billion over the same period.
While foreign-invested sectors accounted for only about 18 percent of 2012 GDP, they accounted for 63 percent of Vietnam’s exports and 53 percent of its imports.
Electronics exports have also significantly increased in importance over the past few years -- they now make up 24.5 percent of total exports, compared with 4.4 percent in 2008, according to Prakriti Sofat, an economist at Barclays Capital. The main impetus has come from mobile phone exports -- with shipments accelerating sharply since late 2011.
In 2009 Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (KRX:005930) opened its first handset plant in Vietnam, (total investment of $1.5 billion), which is also its second-largest factory worldwide. The company, which surged past Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) to the top of the mobile-phone industry, built the business by tapping China’s cheap and abundant labor force. But not for much longer. Samsung is shifting its output to Vietnam to take advantage of even lower wages.
The South Korean company recently signed a contract to build its second factory ($2 billion), which will make 100 million phones a year. Other mobile phone companies such as LG Electronics Inc. (KRX:066570) and Nokia Corporation (NYSE:NOK) are also investing. Nokia opened its first factory in Vietnam in October 2013. The $300 million plant is expected to create 10,000 jobs and produce 45 million handsets per quarter, Thanh Nien News reports.
Vietnam’s wage levels are a lot lower than elsewhere in Asia. According to a JETRO report, monthly pay for general workers in Vietnam is roughly 32 percent of levels in China, 43 percent in Malaysia and Thailand and 62 percent in Indonesia.
“Looking into 2014, we expect further price hikes for energy commodities such as electricity and fuel. While inflation will accelerate in 2014 to 7.9 percent (average), the State Bank of Vietnam has scope to keep rates on hold in the first quarter of 2014,” Nguyen said.

if you ever watch Forrest Gump, you will know that Vietnam is just good shrimping, and after living in the interior for most of my year, I always grab a couple KG of fresh shrimp whenever I make it back to Shanghai, not sure if that's from Vietnam.

More and more US investors coming to VN, with strong help from Russia-India-Japan-USA seem like we will get rid of 3rd nation in 2020Rockefeller’s Firm Plans $2.5 Billion Vietnam Development

Rose Rock Group, a Rockefeller family-backed alternative investment management firm, will help develop a $2.5 billion residential and hotel project on the south-central coast ofVietnam.
The Vung Ro Bay development covering 200,000 square meters (2.15 million square feet) will be developed with Vung Ro Petroleum Co., a Tuy Hoa, Phu Yen province-based oil company, according to a joint e-mailed statement today. The project will include 350 marina berths, hotels with more than 760 rooms, 4,300 residential apartments, 100 townhouses and retail shops, according to the statement.
The new development comes amid a growing interest among overseas investors in Vietnam’s potential as a tourism and gambling destination. Vietnam’s property prices dropped between 10 percent and 30 percent last year and the declines have boosted sales and reduced supply in the market, Construction Minister Trinh Dinh Dung said on Dec. 24.
“Vietnam’s property market has been a bit of a roller coaster,” said Nicholas Holt, Asia-Pacific research director at Knight Frank LLP in Singapore. “We are seeing foreign investors sniffing around for good opportunities and the returns could be potentially very attractive if one holds the view that the market is at the bottom and land prices will start to rise.”
Preferred Destination
Vung Ro is investing more than $4 billion to develop an oil refinery, petroleum plant and sea port in Phu Yen province, according to the statement. Rose Rock specializes in real estate, health care, and arts and culture. The group has developments in China, according to the statement.
“We look forward to making this development an outstanding and preferred destination in the Asia-Pacific region for visitors and a lifestyle choice for residents,” Collin Eckles, president at Rose Rock, said in the statement.
Vietnam’s VinaCapital Group, the country’s largest fund manager, is planning to build a $4 billion casino-resort complex in Quang Nam province on the south-central coast after developing a beach resort in Danang about six years ago, Chief Executive Officer Don Lam said in a phone interview today.
“We see central Vietnam as at the beginning phase of a growth stage,” said Lam. “If you look at southern China, it’s only a one-and-a-half-hour flight to beaches. The hotel costs are lower. And it’s a new destination.”
Casino Resort
Canada’s Asian Coast Development (ACDZ) is developing the Ho Tram Strip in southern Vietnam, bringing hotel resorts, a casino and a Greg Norman-designed golf course to the 2.2 kilometer (1.4 miles) beachfront, according to its website. The casino resort opened in July and a second resort will be operated by Pinnacle Entertainment Inc. (PNK), the Las Vegas-based-owner of U.S. casinos, according to Asian Coast Development.
So far, there have only been a handful of casino-resort projects approved by the government, said Richard Leech, executive director of CBRE (CBG) Group Inc. in Hanoi.
The number of international visitors to Vietnam increased 11 percent in 2013, according to the General Statistics Office of Vietnam. The country targets attracting 48 million visitors and 220 trillion dong ($10 billion) in total revenue, according to Nhan Dan Online, the Communist Party paper.
The country’s economy expanded 5.42 percent last year, faster than the 5.25 percent pace in 2012, according to the General Statistics Office.
Rockefeller family members are descendants of 19th-century oil magnate John D. Rockefeller, who founded Exxon Mobil Corp.

Shrimp is tasty but is so difficult to eat.
I actually prefer processed shrimp and prawns deep fried. Not good for your health but less hassle to eat.

BTW, tell you guys some living details in China. In Shanghai, if you even wants to buy a small apartment in the very suburb area, you need to pay 6500USD per m2, if in the very central area, the price will over 18000USD per m2. Thinking merry with Chinese girl in Shanghai? The wedding ceremony, only the ceremony AT LEAST cost you 35000USD, and the guys must have a house in local area, a car(same car is 5 or 6 times more expensive than in USA), and a strong heart(since your Chinese wife probably cannot cook meals or clean the house, but always want to a new genaration iphone when they have just released). If you can understand this, you know a real China. If you take care this, please come and live in China.
