Looking the results of 2017 and the next years, people are paid attention to TPP. TPP is the largest. TPP is a huge motivation and very good for Vietnam's economic development. Although, the US government is considering participating in this agreement in the past few months have been somewhat negative impact on Vietnam, this does not necessarily have the negative impact on the business activities of KBC. In fact, there are a lot of investors meeting and signing the contracts with KBC for the last time. This does not depend on the successful TPP negotiations. The main reason is if US delays to join in the TPP, US will also implement policies to raise taxes imposed on goods imported from China to United States to 45% (2.5% commonly), so many Chinese investors and investors intending to invest in China has diverted investment into Vietnam. Thus, in 2017, KBC will still welcome investment flows with very positive direction.
In addition, KBC also makes plans to discuss and receive the ideas of major shareholders and investors, securities companies, fund management companies for KBC’s consideration of the possibility of buying treasury stock to reduce the number of floating stocks since KBC currently is under less pressure on cash flow along with profit and surplus sufficient to implement this plan.
An important point in the operation of KBC in the following years is to expand building workshops for lease with expected capital as long-term loans with low interest rates of international credit institutions, which is both transparent for KBC and ensure increasing the capacity and international standards for administration of Company.
With the above activity orientation, KBC believes in building its position, and strengthening trust with shareholders, partners and investors.
