In March, multi-sectoral giant Vingroup registered to invest in four new projects in France, the Netherlands, Canada and Singapore, and inject additional investment into projects in the US and Germany. The total mount of registered and added investment is estimated at US$450 million. It forms part of the conglomerate’s plan to go global, following the footsteps of military-run telecom group Viettel and dairy producers Vinamilk and TH. The group is also aiming to turn its subsidy VinFast into one of the world’s leading electric and smart vehicle makers. According to the Ministry of Finance, Vietnamese firms earned more than US$7.02 billion in revenue from their overseas projects in 2019, up 27% from the previous year.
