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).
