Vietnam Import/Export Delays from Lack of Single Window Coordination The WB's Doing Business 2014 showed that enterprises had to spend 21 days on average in 2012 and 2013 to fulfill procedures for their imports and exports in Vietnam. Nguyen Minh Thao, a researcher from the Central Institute of Economic Management (CIEM), said working sessions with enterprises indicated that goods clearance was longer than reported by Vietnam Customs, and commented that GDC needs to take drastic measures to shorten the time enterprises have to spend to clear goods, as requested by the government's Decree No 19 on administrative procedure reform. Reducing the time also helps increase the competitiveness of the country. ...

  • Vietnam's Development, Support Industries, Party Secretary's Korea Visit
    10/9/14, 12:07 PM Having trouble viewing this email?Click here Home | About Us | Events | Benefits and Services | Join Us Vietnam's Development, Support Industries, Party Secretary's Korea Visit FEATURES Thinking about Vietnam's Development Strategy In the era of "supply-chain trade," "industrialization" means little more than opening labor markets to global manufacturers. Countries that can grab pieces of global supply chains are quickly rewarded with lots of manufacturing employment. But development that is easy-come may also be easy-go. Unless the economies concerned can quickly build up their workers' skills and infrastructures, wage increases will soon lead manufacturers to pick up sticks and move to cheaper locations. With AEC 2015, businesses may leave because of weak support industries Some Japanese businesses may leave Vietnam once tariffs among ASEAN countries are cut to zero percent within the framework of the ASEAN Free Trade Agreement (AFTA) and ASEAN Economic Community 2015 (AEC 2015). Japan's Mitsubishi Institute has been authorized by JICA (Japan International Cooperation Agency) to conduct a survey and build a database on six key support industries in Vietnam, including agricultural machinery, food processing, electronics manufacturing, automobile and automobile part manufacturing, shipbuilding, environment and energy savings. ... Party Secretary State Visit to Republic of Korea Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong concluded a state visit from October 1-4 at the invitation of Korean President Park Geun Hye that included meetings with RoK Prime Minister Jeong Hong Won, National Assembly Speaker Chung Ui Hwa, and Kim Moo Sung, Chairman of the Supreme Council of the Saenuri Party.
