The headquarters of the Vietnamese Ministry of Finance. (Source: MoF ) Hanoi (VNS/VNA) - The Vietnamese Ministry of Finance (MoF) has said that Moody's Investors Service’s decision to place Vietnam’s Ba3 rating under review for downgrade due to delayed payments on an obligation of the Vietnamese Government was improper as the Government has never delayed meeting debt repayment obligations.

CEO Tran Tuan Anh discusses at the Air Freight Logistics Vietnam Conference 2019 Why is Vietnam assessed to have many golden opportunities to become Air Logistics Hub in Southeast Asia? Despite a slump in the global market, Vietnam’s international air transport gained its impressive growth touching 11 per cent through the first seven months of this year. The domestic air transport market alone jumped 134 per cent in 2018 compared to 2017. In addition, the GDP growth of more than 7 per cent in 2018 has fuelled the demand on the consumption of goods and air transport. Vietnam has participated more in free trade agreements (FTA’s), particularly new-generation FTA’s like the CPTPP and the EVFTA, which contributes to boosting the country’s exports. Simultaneously, as a regional leading producer and exporter in textile and clothing, footwear, wooden furniture, electronics, seafood, and agricultural produce, Vietnam is well-positioned to attract leading suppliers … [Read more...] about Vietnam to host two Air Logistics Hubs of Southeast Asia stature
