Tan Tao faces capital troubles for $6.7 billion thermal power project
VietNamNet Bridge - The future of the $6.7 billion Kien Luong Thermal Power Project which was suggested by Kien Giang provincial authorities for being revoked was the major content at a regular press conference of the Ministry of Industry and Trade on Monday. Tan Tao proposed to have the government guarantee for foreign bank loans, but Quang said this request is "unprecedented." As a rule, the Government cannot guarantee a credit to a private enterprise. In addition, the investor must have 20 percent of capital to be considered. The official said Tan Tao's request may not get through. However, as Tan Tao said that it invested a lot of money in this project, the Ministry of Industry and Trade should still take the opportunity for this group.

Southern Kien Giang Province authorities were impatient with the long delay in building a huge thermal power plant in Kien … [Read more...] about Tan Tao faces capital troubles for $6.7 billion thermal power project
