Welcome to the first newsletter of September 2022.

In Vietnam, one important piece of information. It is in regard to cashless payment. The Standing Economic Committee of the National Assembly released strict regulations on those matters. You can read it here.
EVFTA underpins the continued growth of Vietnam's technology market due to the changes in consumer behaviour and market trends over the past years.
Leading semiconductor manufacturers are increasingly expanding their operations in Vietnam as a global race heats up. Currently, Vietnam is a prominent player in the worldwide chip race.

Warm regards,

MY CHOICES THIS WEEK |
Vietnam to release strict regulations on cashless payment
The Standing Economic Committee of the National Assembly yesterday held a meeting to review the draft amended Law on Anti-Money Laundering (AML).
EVFTA Underpins Continued Growth Of Vietnam's Technology Market
Changes in consumer behaviour and market trends over the past years have forced us to rethink the role of technology.
Vietnam's State Bank Loans Made To Non-Banking Credit Institutions
Non-banking credit institutions ("NBCIs") are able to pledge their valuable papers to obtain loans secured by the State Bank of Vietnam ("SBVN Secured Loans") without the Prime Minister's approval. This change took place in October 2011 and the arrangement has remained more or less unchanged since then. It will be useful to review this simple but very important framework.
Port of Sines studies renewable gas terminal
Improving the conditions of the "jetty" to receive renewable gases such as Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) or hydrogen and green ammonia is part of the Activities Plan of that port infrastructure.
Vietnam rises as a prominent player amid the global chip race
Leading semiconductor manufacturers are increasingly expanding their operations in Vietnam as a global race heats up.
