Focus: Let’s Go To The Point: To find the right coping measures for the corporate bond market, its problems should be identified first.
Inside Vietnam
Limited Monetary Policy Options: As monetary policy tools are nearly exhausted, fiscal policy needs expanding to spur growth as more challenges are on the horizon. Boosting public investment in infrastructure development and funding the economic recovery and development program are seen as key priorities in 2023.
What Causes Interest Rates To Slide?: Banks’ unexpected deposit rate cuts before and immediately after the Lunar New Year are explainable.
Capital Risks Loom Large Over Property Market: The credit crunch continues to aggravate investors’ poor cash flows and put homebuyers’ down payments in peril, at least in the short term
Business
Chance For Market Upgrade: Is the fact that foreign investors, especially those ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds) specializing in emerging and frontier markets, have been net buyers since last year a sign that Vietnam’s stock market is approaching an upgrade?
Aviation Back On Track: The air transport industry is forecast to fully recover by the end of 2023, with passenger and cargo traffic soaring by 45.4% and 15% year-on-year to 80 million and 1.44 million tons, respectively.
Living
Finding Opportunities In Vietnam: We have heard the importance of looking within, finding yourself, and being true to what you see. To Vietnamese, while changes can be made at any time, the New Year seems the best time to commit to leading your best life. Echoing the same opinion, Alushka Linh, a young woman from South Africa, has found her dream in a new land, Vietnam, but that has not stopped her from continuing to realize her true self.
Fishing For A New Business Idea: Dao Phuoc Xoan, a teacher at an elementary school in Thanh An Commune, Thanh Phu District, Ben Tre Province, not only built an automatic shrimp feeding machine but also successfully created fish and wild boar farming machines and raised sea crabs into double-shell crabs.
Travel
Amazing Con Co Island Landscape: Con Co Island, with its unspoiled natural landscape, is an ideal destination for those who want to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life.
Goi Mit: Another Specialty From Central Vietnam: From a rustic dish in Central Vietnam, the young jackfruit salad (goi mit) has become increasingly popular across Vietnam. It is served in eateries and restaurants across the country.
