Facilitating economic growth and securing adequate energy supply, while also taking into account the global responsibility for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, has resulted in a focus on energy efficiency and carbon emission reduction. APEC economies continue to develop plans and measures to improve energy efficiency across all sectors of the economy. Most economies have followed-through on previously committed action plans to improve energy efficiency; embarked on efficiency awareness raising campaigns; promoted good energy management practices and facilitated investment in energy efficiency. In a statement made in November 2011 at the APEC Ministerial Meeting in Honolulu, Hawaii, the APEC Ministers aspired to meet a new APEC-wide regional goal of reducing the energy intensity of the APEC economies by at least 45 percent by 2035, using 2005 as a base year. This came after reviewing data analysed by the APEC Energy Working Group which indicated that APEC is on the path to significantly exceed its previous energy intensity goal. The 45% reduction is an aggregate goal, which recognizes that economies’ rates of improvement may vary for many reasons. For more information please see http://www.apec.org/Meeting-Papers/Ministerial- Statements/Annual/2011/2011_amm.aspx. Sustainable energy development can be achieved by employing highly effective government policies and by broadening energy cooperation between economies through bilateral, regional and multilateral schemes. In this context, sharing information on common energy challenges is essential. The APEC Energy Overview is an annual publication intended to promote information sharing. It contains energy demand and supply data as well as energy policy information for each of the 21 APEC economies. It also contains information on notable energy developments, including those related to policy updates, upstream development, energy efficiency, low carbon energy, and environmental protection. We hope that this report helps to deepen mutual understanding among APEC economies on energy issues in the region.

  • Divestment of State-Owned Enterprises and Competition in Oil & Gas Sectors in Vietnam
    Vietnamese Journal of Legal Sciences, Vol 01, No 01, 2019, pp. 01-32 DOI: 10.2478/vjls-2020-0001 1 DIVESTMENT OF STATE-OWNED ENTERPRISES AND COMPETITION IN OIL & GAS SECTORS IN VIETNAM HA T. NGUYEN Email : [email protected] UMUT TURKSEN Centre for Financial and Corporate Integrity, Coventry University, UK Email: [email protected] Abstract In its endeavour to attract foreign investment inflows and realise the diversity and security of its energy supply, Vietnam has set out short, medium and long term strategies which have been articulated in a number of legal instruments. These developments include the drive and acceleration of divestment and liberalisation of the energy market and ensuring healthy competition therein. This article provides a critical analysis of the current divestment of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) in Vietnam’s oil and gas sectors. In doing so, it also assesses current state of affairs against the key principles and objectives of competition law. After providing a brief summary of the milestones in the oil and gas sector, the article explains the equitisation in and privatization of SOEs and critiques the implications of these practices against the benchmarks of competition law provisions. After identifying the current problems and future challenges that lie ahead, it provides a number of constructive recommendations for policy development and legal reform. Keywords: divestment, SOEs, competition, energy 1. Introduction From the 1980s, onwards Vietnam pursued a central-subsidy economy in which the government planned and directly intervened in the market through state-owned enterprises (“SOEs”) and administrative decisions. Accordingly, the Vietnamese economy was dominated by SOEs which enjoyed enormous privileges but were largely inefficient.

    2006 COMMERCIAL COUNSELLORS REPORT ON VIETNAM 2006 COMMERCIAL COUNSELLORS REPORT ON VIETNAM EUROPEAN UNION ECONOMIC AND COMMERCIAL COUNSELLORS 2 4 Each year the Working Group of Economic and Commercial Counselors of the European Union publishes a Report on the economy of Vietnam. This “Green Book” aims to provide the private sector as well as European institutions and governments with an analysis of the recent economic performance of Vietnam as well as an overview of the development in certain sectors of the Vietnamese economy. The “Green Book” is not an official publication of the EU. It is a joint initiative of the EU Embassies and the Delegation of the European Commission in Vietnam. The publication is covering a wide range of issues and consists of two parts: The first part is dedicated to a general overview of the most important economic developments in Vietnam in 2005. Section I features an overview over the economic performance of Vietnam as well as an analysis of major economic indicators such as foreign trade, investment, employment as well as sectoral and monetary policies. Section II covers legal developments while Section III presents the EU at a Glance. The second part of the report provides eleven Sections packed with abundant information on the development of important sectors of the Vietnamese economy: Garments and Textiles, Footwear, Fishery Products, Agro-Industry, Transport, ICT, Pharmaceuticals, Alcoholic Beverages, Energy, Machinery and tools and Financial Services. In the year 2005, Vietnamese and EU economies have again moved closer to each other and have become a mainstay of the overall relationship. The “Green Book” provides ample information in this respect and we trust that it will be supportive in the continuing improvement of relations between Vietnam and Europe.

Organization Vietnam has great potential in oil and gas reserves. Oil and gas is one of the top priority sectors for development by the Government of Vietnam since it is viewed as central to national economic growth and energy security. The oil & gas industry is the country’s biggest foreign currency earners and a major procurer of imported technology, services and equipment. PetroVietnam (also known as PVN), the national oil and gas group, is a leading state-owned economic group with revenue accounting for 20 percent of the nation’s GDP and contributing to 25-30 percent of the state budget. PVN holds a monopoly in the upstream, mid-stream and downstream areas of the industry. In 2013, PVN and its affiliates produced 16.71 million tons of crude oil and 9.75 billion cubic meters of natural gas, generating a combined $36 billion in revenue.

  • Vietnam Energy Data, Statistics and Analysis
    Vietnam Last Updated: May 9, 2012 Background Vietnam is an Over the course of two decades Vietnam emerged as an important oil and natural gas producer important oil supplier in Southeast Asia. Vietnam has boosted exploration activities, allowed for greater foreign to regional and company investment and cooperation in the oil and gas sectors, and introduced market reforms domestic markets to support the energy industry. These measures have helped to increase oil and gas production, and may emerge as a but the country's rapid economic growth, industrialization, and export market expansion have significant natural spurred domestic energy consumption. The country's real gross domestic product (GDP) grew by gas supplier in the an average of 7.2 percent per year in the last decade. next decade. EIA estimates that about a third of Vietnam's energy consumption is from traditional biomass and waste. About 70 percent of the country's population lives in rural areas, and agriculture accounts for a sizeable portion of the country's GDP. Nearly 60 percent of the biomass is consumed by households, and Vietnam is currently promoting greater use of biofuels to replace some of the fossil fuel consumption. Nearly one-quarter of Vietnam's domestic energy consumption comes from oil, with hydropower (10 percent), coal (20 percent), and natural gas (11 percent) supplying the remainder. As the country continues industrializing and installing greater power capacity, Vietnam is seeking to develop all its natural resources. Oil Vietnam's oil According to Oil & Gas Journal (OGJ), Vietnam now ranks third in terms of proven oil reserves production has for the Asia-Pacific region.
