Vietnam – Key Winner of U.S.-China Trade War

According to a survey from U.S. and Chinese companies, Vietnam has emerged as a key winner in the trade war, with companies moving production to Vietnam to escape tariffs. Goertek, the Chinese manufacturer of Apple’s Airpods, have confirmed plans to shift their production lines from China to Vietnam as the trade war continued to escalate. Other multinational corporations and chains such as Amazon, Mazda, Mandarin Oriental, H&M and Zara have kicked off their expansion plans in this booming country in 2018.
Reports from the World Bank affirmed that the forecast of Vietnam’s GDP growth shall reach the target of 6.5-6.7% in 2019. Future development plans in Vietnam are likely to accelerate its thriving economy. Construction on its biggest airport – the Long Thanh International Airport shall commence in 2020 and target to operate in 2025.

The company is approximately 40% owned by the Singapore Government through Temasek.As one of the most respected and highly sought-after developers in Vietnam’s property market, CapitaLand has planted its roots in Vietnam with over 24 years of presence, with 13 residential projects and 22 serviced apartments launched over the years. Its acclaimed projects include De La Sol (Phase 1, Alto Tower), The Vista, Vista Verde, Feliz en Vista, D2eight, d’Edge and D1MENSION. CapitaLand’s proven track record soundly convinces property investors with its standard of excellence and professional expertise in real estate projects and services.
Ms. Michele Cheng, Director & Partner of Ashton Hawks, said: “Riding on the success of Phase 1, CapitaLand is introducing De La Sol Phase 2 – Cello Tower in HCMC’s District 4. De La Sol is the first international development in District 4 of Ho Chi Minh City, adjacent to the traditional CBD in District 1. Its close proximity to District 1 but significantly lower prices are appealing to investors. District 4 is one of the most sought-after districts as seen by co-working provider WeWork moving into Etown in District 4 and the overflow of developments from District 1 to District 4 has made it promising for developers investing in District 4. The gentrification of this district is a positive sign for the housing prices. Vietnam’s economic success is largely reflected in the skyline of HCMC’s CBD in District 1, which is expanding upwards as well as outwards. Currently, land costs in District 4 are only 1/4 of comparable land in District 1. District 4 is easily accessible by vehicular bridges and positioned to be HCMC’s CBD Lite, it is one of the fastest growing districts in the city, hosting ongoing projects including a massive Riverfront development plan. HCMC’s economic success will continue as the city welcomes businesses and FDI into the city through a multi-billion-US-dollar Long Thanh International Airport, constructed to be Vietnam’s largest and most iconic airport. As HCMC’s economic boom continues, the property market will hold strong. Developing districts like District 4 now holds an immense development and investment prospect.
”Mr. Frederick Ho, Director & Partner of Ashton Hawks commented: “Boosted by the escalating trade war between U.S. and China, producers have diversified their supply chains to Vietnam due to its low labour costs and modernized factories. Furthermore, the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) has enabled Vietnam to gain duty-free access to the EU market, further boosting FDI and export driven growth. The anticipated increase in FDI is expected to stimulate a further expansion of different industries and increase productivity in various sectors. Besides, the number of expats in Vietnam has surged as multinational corporations has established offices in the country. According to a HSBC survey, Vietnam ranks 19th in the best countries for expats globally, in terms of opportunities and quality of life. It can be foreseen that this trend shall continue to accelerate at a promising rate, elevating the already strong demand of rental properties in Vietnam and further boosting its property market.”The launch of De La Sol Phase 2 (Cello Tower) will take place on 8-9 December 2018 in The Park Lane Hong Kong (27/F, 310 Gloucester Road, Causeway Bay).
