"Time to invest in Vietnam" said by President of General Electrics ASEAN.
March 11, 2009
Business leaders have said investors should look beyond current difficulties to take advantage of the lower cost of investment in Vietnam.

Speaking at a meeting of international chief executive officers in Ho Chi Minh City early March, one of the business leaders, Stuart Dean, President of General Electrics ASEAN, said, ?If you are a long-term investor, it would be a good time now to invest in Vietnam.?

Minister of Industry and Trade Vu Huy Hoang said prices of construction materials have fallen by 30 percent from a year ago. Easier and cheaper access to bank loans is another plus for investors, he said. Vietnam expects to attract foreign investment worth US$20-25 billion this year.

Foreign investors have committed $5.3 billion in the first two months, $1.5 billion of it in new projects, he said.
