Programme honours Vietnam’s Ao Dai

The event, co-organised by the Thang Long Institute for Cultural Research (TICR) and Tinh hoa Dat Viet Magazine, was attended by Member of the Party Central Committee cum President of the Vietnam Women's Union Ha Thi Nga,. The area in front of Khue Van Cac (the pavilion of the constellation of literature) in Van Mieu - Quoc Tu Giam became the "stage" for 15 designers to introduce more than 600 Ao Dai designs. Among them, there are famous designers such as: Minh Hanh, Ngoc Han, Lan Huong, Chu La, and Trinh Bich Thuy. The event also features the participations of more than 400 models, actors, guests, especially Lady of ambassadors of Italy, India, and Laos. Not only do they honour the national cultural beauty, the designs also display cultural exchanges with other countries when exploiting motifs from the traditional cultural beauty of many countries from around the world, such as the imperial motifs and patterns of India and Thailand; subtle lines of Japanese culture and architecture; modernity of American culture; or the romantic features of Italian and French culture. The designs show the adaptability of Vietnamese Ao Dai in coordination with cultural elements of both Asia and Europe. Traditional Ao Dai is an important cultural heritage associated with the beauty of Vietnamese women. In recent years, many cultural researchers have made efforts to help the Ao Dai gain recognition as a National Intangible Cultural Heritage, aiming to propose that the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) register the dress as a World Intangible Cultural Heritage. The event "Ao Dai Cua Chung Ta" contributes to the continued promotion of community awareness and responsibility in preserving and protecting traditional Ao Dai, and honouring and promoting Vietnamese traditional costumes; while, at the same time, promoting cultural exchange between Vietnam and other countries around the world. …

Corporate bond rush heads for slowdown

With Vietnamese regulators’ efforts to minimise the risks of corporate bonds’ mass issuance, the landscape is predicted to be cooled down compared to a frenzy of debt instruments in the previous period. Corporate bond rush heads for slowdown. According to fresh data from the Hanoi Stock Exchange, as of January 22, there were seven successful corporate bond private placements with a total value of $279 million and two public offerings of $70 million. The real estate sector accounted for $233.7 million, equivalent to 66.9 per cent of the total issued value. Previously, over $17.82 billion of corporate bonds were issued last year, which increased by 38.5 per cent from end-2019 and 83.5 per cent from end-2018. Albeit a decline in the last quarter of 2020’s issuance volume the real estate sector witnessed the largest corporate bond issuance volume in 2020 of over $6.09 billion, accounting for over 35 per cent of total issuance value at an average coupon rate of 10.52 per cent. The banking sector also made up for nearly 30 per cent, with an average coupon rate of 6.69 per cent, lower than 7.06 per cent in 2019. Some significant bond issuers included BIDV, VietinBank, HDBank, and TPBank. The rush of corporate bond issuance has sought attention from yield-hunt investors in the face of ultra-low interest rates. “Rising medium- and long-term capital demands to satisfy stricter regulations on credit safety limits and capital adequacy ratio in 2021 were putting much pressure on commercial banks to raise funds from bond issuance in late 2020,” explained Nguyen Tu Anh, director of the General Economic Department under the Central Party’s Economic Commission. “On the other hand, foreign investors have been closely engaged in the domestic debt market. In 2020, foreign investors were actively net buyers, expect only three months of slight net-selling, with a total net buying value of $179.7 million.” However, the lack of transparency and independent credit …
