Bulgaria, Petar Chobanov: Government combines social and investment priorities

The papers adopted by the Government show the observance of our specific commitments and priorities in the social and investment sphere. This is what Minister of Finance Petar Chobanov said at the press conference held after the Government approved the Medium-Term Budget Forecast (MTBF) 2015-2017, the 2014 update to the National Reform Programme (NRP) and the Convergence Programme. All three papers are part of the so-called European Semester. Minister Chobanov said that MTBF planned an increase in the minimum wage and in the pensions according to the Swiss rule. According to him, in 2015 the allowance for disabled children would be increased, more money would be granted to foster families and more possibilities would be sought for the expansion of the national employment plan. The Minister of Finance added that BGN 100 million would be set aside in next year's budget for Christmas and Easter bonuses for pensioners. 

The main focus of the NRP is on enhancing the social aspects of policies, youth unemployment, improving the business climate and reducing the administrative burden and better revenue collection, Mr. Chobanov explained. As to investment, in 2015 the Government plans again BGN 300 million for municipal projects under the Growth and Sustainable Development of the Regions Public Investment Programme, as well as an additional limit of BGN 100 million for government investment loans to support the successful closure of the Transit Roads V project. Mr. Petar Chobanov said that the key message of the three papers was that the Government "continues the strategy to follow fiscal discipline which however combines with economic growth acceleration, includes vulnerable social groups and leads to overcoming regional disparities".

The Minister of Finance reminded that for the first time in recent years the cash-basis deficit at end-2013 was higher than that on accrual basis. According to him, this was due to the normalised refund of VAT made according to the order of the received requests, the payments under EU programmes, including those made at the end of the year, and the settlement of delayed payments. Mr. Chobanov said that the 2013 data were the net result achieved without retaining VAT and other payments made by the state. He specified that some structural changes had been made this year to increase revenue, such as introduction of fiscal control, reverse charge mechanism and some measures aimed to collect declared but not paid liabilities. The new Rule of Procedure of the Bulgarian Customs Agency centralise the mobile teams by including representatives of other institutions as well, which proves effective concerning the detection of narcotic substances and detained quantities of excise goods.

Ghana - Government allocates rice production targets to regions

Mr Kofi Humado, Minister of Food and Agriculture has announced that government has allocated rice production targets to all regions in the country to become self-sufficient by 2017.

He said Ghana had already become self-sufficient in yam, cassava and maize production and a breakthrough in rice production would therefore make the country a leading food producer for both domestic consumption and export to neighbouring countries.

Mr Humado said this when he addressed the chiefs and people of the Likpe traditional area during their biennial Lekoryi festival celebration at Likpe- Mate in the Volta Region.

The festival, which was on the theme:"Self- Help in Infrastructure Development" is celebrated every two years to harness financial and economic resources to support the development projects in the area.

It was first celebrated in 1988 and had since brought together the sons and daughters of the area to make useful decisions towards the development of the traditional area.

The occasion also gave the citizens the opportunity to recollect their ancestral beliefs that they carried from the ancient Ghana Empire and later to Atebubu in the Brong Ahafo Region, from where they moved to their current settlements.

Australia to assist livestock development in Indonesia

Australia will likely provide Au$60 million or about Rp640 billion to assist in the development of the livestock industry in Indonesia, a capital investment official said.

"The assistance was discussed by both sides in an Indonesia-Australia Partnership meeting on food security here today," Himawan Hariyoga Djojokusumo of the Investment Promotion of the Capital Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) said here on Thursday.

He said the fund was an initial offer from Australia and will be used to develop the livestock industry at home and to attract more investment from the federal state.

Myanmar, EU begin investment protection talks

Myanmar and the European Union have begun negotiations on an investment protection agreement, the EU said in a news release.

It said the Minister of National Planning and Economic Development, Dr Kan Zaw, and the EU Trade Commissioner Karel De Gucht, are leading the negotiations, which began in Nay Pyi Taw on March 20.

The agreement will offer EU investors protection against discrimination, expropriation without compensation, unfair and inequitable treatment and for the possibility of transferring capital, the release said.

It said that by improving the protection and fair treatment of investors from both sides, the agreement will contribute to attracting investment to Myanmar and the EU.

"This investment agreement could become an important accelerator for the reform process in Myanmar," Mr De Gucht was quoted as saying in the release.

"Experience has shown that improving legal certainty and predictability for investments is key in providing business opportunities and much-needed development for this growing economy,” he said, adding that he hoped the negotiations would conclude swiftly.

New ASEAN community offers export opportunities

The ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) would bring challenges, as well as improved export opportunities for Viet Nam when the AEC is formed in 2015, according to experts.

The AEC marks the commitment of ASEAN leaders to building and promoting a single market and production base, a highly competitive economic region tempered with equitable development, and a region fully integrated into the global economy.

ASEAN includes the Association of South East Asian Nations consisting of Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Viet Nam.

Experts said the AEC would also create greater opportunities for exporting goods and services to the ASEAN market, though local enterprises have faced many difficulties in production and business.

Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade (MIT) Do Thang Hai said the trade turnover between Viet Nam and ASEAN has quadrupled over the past decade, climbing to nearly US$40 billion in 2013 from $9 billion in 2003. Last year, Viet Nam took in $18.47 billion from its exports to the bloc, the country's third largest importer only after the US and the EU, which was an increase of 4.4 per cent from the previous year, added Hai.

Meanwhile, export turnover was estimated at $4.7 billion in the first quarter of this year, a year-on-year increase of 6.4 per cent. However, the figure has tended to remain steady, and even slowed on occasion, as domestic enterprises have not yet taken full advantage of the close geographical distance and incentives offered by the ASEAN Trade in Goods Agreement (ATIGA).

Hai said ASEAN is one of Viet Nam's leading trade partners, accounting for 15 per cent of the country's total trade. The regional grouping made up 22.4 per cent of total foreign direct investment (FDI) capital in 2013 with Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand being key investors.

AEC and free trade agreements (FTAs) have helped promote Viet Nam's exports to ASEAN, Hai stressed.

Malaysia seeks to attract Western commodity traders as new hub

A number of Western commodity companies are setting up new trading desks in Malaysia as the southeast Asian country introduces incentives in a bid to attract business away from the main regional trading hub Singapore.

Commodity houses Mercuria and Cargill have already set small desks in Kuala Lumpur, two sources said, and others are also studying the possibility.

"We have already attracted 20 or so companies in the past 12-18 months. Some are already trading, some are setting up," said Zainal Amanshah, chief executive officer for Invest KL, a government corporation that promotes the country as a regional destination for multinationals and global commodity traders.

"I think these companies are looking at new cost effective locations with a business-friendly environment so they look at Kuala Lumpur as a good, complementary alternative to Singapore," he said during a promotional visit to Europe.

The incentives include preferential tax treatment, under which trading companies who set up desks only pay three percent of their profit to the government.

Malaysia is also backing the construction of an oil storage facility with capacity of up to 2 million cubic metres in Pengerang, in the south of the country.

Vietnam software outsourcing sector grows strongly, in world’s top 10

Vietnamese software outsourcing companies have announced their first-quarter revenues rose by up to 34 percent compared to the same period of last year while an industry body says Vietnam is now among the world’s top ten software exporters. Vietnam has outplayed India to become the second-largest software outsourcer in Japan, only behind China, and is now one of the world’s ten largest software exporters, according to the Vietnam Software and IT Services Association.

Only in the first three months, many local software companies received orders for the entire year and their 2014 revenues are expected to soar by up to 25 percent compared to a year earlier, the association said.

The Ho Chi Minh City unit of FPT Software, the country’s leading software outsourcing company, has said its annual revenue has expanded at a 30 percent rate over the last few years.

Tran Phuc Hong, managing director of TMA Solutions, another HCMC-based software firm, was quoted by newswire Saigon Times Online as saying that this year will be stable for the software outsourcing industry as most of the orders have been placed in the first quarter.

TMA Solutions reported a 20 percent year-on-year growth in the January – March period, and has so far signed contracts for the full year of 2014, Hong added.

Vietnam - Retail sector holds opportunities

Viet Nam is a promising market for foreign retailers and will have more competition on the local retail market next year which is the deadline of opening the domestic retail market.

According to the Association of Viet Nam Retailers (AVR), Viet Nam has 130 trading centres, 700 supermarkets and over 1,000 convenient shops developed by local and foreign firms, including 21 wholly-foreign invested firms, reports Dien dan Doanh nghiep newspaper.

The number of local retailers is not small but, in reality, there are only a few large and successful local retailers. Meanwhile, the domestic retail market has great potential for retailers.

The General Statistics Office reports that Viet Nam's retail market is recovering, with the opening of many trading centres, supermarkets and shopping malls. Further, the market has attracted many large multi-national groups.

Retail experts note that it is typical to find one trading centre and one shopping mall per 100,000 people, while one supermarket often serves an average of 10,000 people and 1 to 2 convenience shops serves up to 1,000 people. But in the major cities of Ha Noi and HCM City the demand is not ensured and there are areas with vacant retail sites.

Additionally, convenience shops, supermarkets, trading centres and shopping malls have accounted for 22 per cent of the domestic retail system. This percentage, however, is higher in neighbouring countries, including 30 per cent in the Philippines, 43 per cent in Indonesia, 46 per cent in Thailand, 51 per cent in China, 60 per cent in Malaysia and 90 per cent in Singapore.

Malaysia - Companies encouraged to invest in Vietnam

Malaysia - Companies encouraged to invest in Vietnam

Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has encouraged Malaysian companies to seek investment opportunities in Vietnam, which plans to privatise some 500 state enterprises.

The Prime Minister described the country as having “one of the most robust economies in the region”. Najib ended his three-day official visit here yesterday, his maiden working visit to Vietnam since he assumed the premiership in 2009.

He was accompanied by Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Anifah Aman, International Trade and Industry Min­is­ter Datuk Seri Mustapa Moh­amad and Agriculture and Agro-based Industries Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

Speaking to reporters, Najib said many Malaysian companies had become success stories in Vietnam. As an example, he said Gamuda Bhd was carrying out the biggest property development project in Hanoi costing US$9bil (RM29.7bil).

Lao economic growth strong but susceptible to shock: ADB

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) 's Asian Development Outlook 2014 has projected a 7.3 percent GDP growth for Laos in 2014 but warns of the country's susceptibility to economic shocks due to macroeconomic imbalances.

The projected 7.3 percent growth in 2014 falls slightly short of last year's 7.6 percent.

"The Lao PDR economy remains one of the top performers in the region in terms of economic growth," said ADB Country Director Sandra Nicoll on Tuesday.

"It is clear, however, that the economy has become more vulnerable to internal and external shocks, and the challenge for the government is to make the economy more resilient by addressing the macroeconomic imbalances that exist today."

The ADB's Lao growth prospects are affected by the fiscal challenges facing the government and a small slowdown in mining and construction.

ADB Deputy Country Director Barend Frielink told Xinhua that the most urgent issue facing the Lao government was its fiscal constraints.

"The economy may not be resilient enough to withstand shocks under the current circumstances so the priority should be to address the fiscal imbalances," he said.

The ADB report attributes Laos' 7.6 percent growth last year to the country's expansionary fiscal and monetary policies. Services expanded by 9 percent supported by robust consumer spending. A 12 percent increase in tourist arrivals benefited hotels, restaurants and transportation.

Britain’s new ambassador to Cambodia sees bright times ahead for a nation that is leaving its tragic past behind

“People who have never visited Cambodia and don’t know about it, I think they are in for a big surprise,” says Bill Longhurst, British ambassador to Cambodia, with a confident smile. “When I told my mother I was coming here, she asked me if the war was still on. People really do think that. Even people who last visited five or six years ago are surprised because Phnom Penh is a very different place to what it was then. Things have been moving in the right direction and we’re keen to see them continue.”

Cotton, Cashew production to receive boost in Ghana

Ghana’s cotton and cashew production could soon be given a boost with an expressed interest by a business delegation from Dubai to invest in the industry.

The six member team which owns the biggest cotton processing factory in Central Asia has promised to set up similar factory in Ghana.

They are currently relocating a cashew processing plant in Guinea Bissau to Ghana.

The decision of the group which owns UZ Impex in Uzbekistan to invest in Ghana is underscored by the availability of ports- Tema and Takoradi seaports.The presence of such facilities can easily facilitate export of products to Central, South and Western Asia as well as Middle East and Europe where such products are on high demands.

The Dubai business team has held talks with the Secretary to the President, Dr Raymond Atuguba and the Minister in charge of Public Sector Development, Rashid Pelpuo where the prospects of such business ventures were highly discussed.

Cashew farmers are unable to boost production due to lack of resources.

According to the Ghana Cashew Industry Association, only 50 thousand tons of the commodity is produced annually, as against the 62,000 tons needed to feed local processors.

A member of the team, Shopulat Sibikov told Nhyira News the team is committed to commercial agriculture development in Ghana.

Describing Ghana as a country with so many investment opportunities, Mr. Shopulat said the team is impressed with investment potentials and is convinced there is more to be realized.

“When we came here, it was very small. Our plan was not too much big and the main project was agriculture," Mr Shopulat said.

Myanmar - IFC to help privatise Yangon electricity

A new power generation project will be jointly implemented by the International Finance Cooperation (IFC) and Yangon City Electricity Supply Board (YESB).

The IFC, which is the private sector branch of the World Bank, aims to help to transform YESB into a corporation and is conducting a survey on electricity consumption, power charges and supply system.

“Thanks to this project, we can distribute electricity to regions which lack power at a reasonable price, as well as lower power losses. Currently, power loss in Yangon is about 27 percent. The running of cooperation will take few years,” said Tun Gywe, deputy chief engineer of YESB.

The newly formed cooperation will be 51 percent government owned with the IFC claiming the remaining 49 percent.

The IFC signed a contract with Myanmar Oriental Bank (MOB) in February to offer monetary services to the country. The IFC is an international financial institution which offers investment, advisory and assent management services to encourage private sector development in developing countries.

Wake up to Indonesia's investment potential

As a fellow democracy with the world’s largest Islamic population, with 253 million people spread across an archipelago of 17,000-18,000 islands, and an economy growing 6 per cent a year, Indonesia is the waking giant only 800 kilometres beyond Australia’s northern border.

With burgeoning cities in clear need of greater infrastructure development, the time is right for Australian institutional investors to establish a foothold in this market through vehicles such as superannuation. A growing middle class presents tremendous opportunity for established Australian businesses and ambitious entrepreneurs who want to expand their operations beyond our borders into exciting frontiers.

With a GDP per capita of $US4,271 and a middle class expected to double to 140m by 2020, it is no surprise our key competitors have awoken to the potential of this market which is expected to overtake Australia’s GDP by 2022, on a steady path to becoming the world's fourth biggest economy by 2040. However some Australian investors appear asleep at the wheel, with sections of our business and investment community seemingly indifferent to the need for an enduring two-way relationship.

Vietnam - Price war seen as Thai rice glut swamps market

Asian rice costs will keep slumping from near a six-year low as Thailand clears out record stockpiles, threatening a price war with Vietnam and India.

The government plans to sell about 1 million metric tons a month, compared with average monthly exports of 558,000 tons last year. The nation’s benchmark price, which is already below costs in Vietnam and India, may retreat 11 percent to $350 a ton by May, the Thai Rice Exporters Association forecasts.

 Thailand accumulated reserves under a state-buying program which ended this year amid a political crisis in Southeast Asia’s second-largest economy. Its stockpiles reached 12.8 million tons in 2013, or about a third of the global export market. Vietnam’s Minister of Industry and Trade said this week that Thailand was willing to sell the grain at any price.

 “We could see a price war, with Vietnam cutting prices, selling lower than Thai rates,” said Chookiat Ophaswongse, an honorary president of the Thai Rice Exporters Association. The 5-percent Thai broken white grade, used as a reference price in Asia, tumbled 30 percent to $394 in the past year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Thai grain is currently quoted at about $365 to $370 a ton, lower than $385 in Vietnam and $420 in India, said Chookiat. His forecast for $350 would be the lowest since December 2007.

 Cheaper rice may contribute to lower food costs, helping to damp inflation across Asia, where billions depend on the staple. Global food prices tracked by the United Nations fell 2.1 percent in the past year. Thailand, India and Vietnam, the three biggest shippers, accounted for 62 percent of the rice trade last year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates. Rice is falling as wheat in Chicago rose 11 percent this year.
 ‘Cheaper rates’
“Now that Thailand is selling from government stockpiles at cheaper rates, trade inquiries have stopped,” said B.V. Krishna Rao, managing director of Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh-based Pattabhi Agro Foods Pvt., India’s largest exporter of non-basmati rice. “India’s export price needs to be dropped by $20 a ton to be competitive against Thailand.”

Foreign investors bullish on Vietnam prospects

During the four-day networking event, attended by almost 400 guests, investors and speakers, his company, Vietnam’s largest mobile phone store chain, showcased itself to opportunity-seeking investors.

“The stock market has been on the up this year,” Tai said, adding that the company planned to list this June. He joined the Vietnam Access Day forum, held during March 18-21 to introduce his company to the participants.

The firm, with Best Buy International’s former CEO Robert Willet currently sitting on its board of directors, reported 2013 revenue of VND7.82 trillion ($372.4 million), a 25 per cent increase against 2012 with profits nearly doubling to VND250 billion ($11.9 million).

 Mobile World was not the only company to introduce itself at Vietnam Access Day. The event, organised by Viet Capital Bank, Viet Capital Securities Company and Viet Capital Asset Management, also saw displays and presentations from Masan Group, property developer Nam Long, Bao Viet Holdings, Vietcombank, Eximbank, leading fertiliser producer PVFCCo., Hoang Anh Gia Lai, FPT, Hoa Sen Group, Traphaco and Vingroup.

Business partnerships will help growth in Myanmar in 2015, says KPMG

Business partnerships through M&A, joint ventures or strategic alliances will be a driver for business expansion in Myanmar going forward into 2015, said KPMG Myanmar managing partner Yasuhide Fujii.

Fujii said: ‘Opportunities in Myanmar are increasing for businesses, but so is competition. Looking forward, some local firms may feel the pinch as international companies move in on their turf.

‘We’re starting to see cases where it would make more business sense for local and international firms to work together and complement each other, instead of competing, in order to become sustainable in the long term. Local and international firms in Myanmar each have their distinct strengths. We could see some positive partnerships down the road.’
