Feast-day for investors opens in HCM City
Overviews on Vietnam’s
macro-economy, challenges and opportunities for investment and business
this year were shared at the feast-day for investors-2012 held in HCM
City on Feb. 16.
Economist Le Dang Doanh forecast that in
2012, inflation will decline although complications remain, resulting in
a decrease in bank interest rates.
Restructuring investment,
banks and state-owned enterprises (SOE) is likely to offer a new
opportunity for the private sector to become involved in infrastructure
projects, he said.
The move can also offer a chance to revitalise
securities market and foreign investment attraction through trade of
shares and businesses, he said.
Also at the workshop, which drew
20 speakers including leading Vietnamese economists and businessmen and
representatives from enterprises, presentations were made on investment
and business channels, and business opportunities in communication and
entertainment, agricultural product processing, IT, real estate,
securities and banking./.
