Survey targets industrial investors
The Viet Nam Industrial Investor Survey 2010 was officially launched yesterday by the Ministry of Planning and Investment's Foreign Investment Agency (FIA) and the UN Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO).
The survey, which will be conducted from October 25, 2010 to January 15, 2011, is expected to provide policy-makers with data for assessing the impact of the foreign-invested sector on Viet Nam's economic development by looking specifcally at the impact of foreign investment on the development of domestic enterprises.
The survey will analyse the performance of these enterprises and their assessment of the local business climate and also help enhance the investment capacity of the national institutions.
It will be conducted in nine cities and provinces where the majority of domestic and foreign-invested enterprises are based.
Over 1,640 manufacturing, processing and construction firms - 60 per cent of which are foreign-invested - will be selected randomly from a total of 6,830 firms across Ha Noi, Vinh Phuc, Bac Ninh HCM City, Hai Phong, Da Nang, Binh Duong, Dong Nai and Ba Ria - Vung Tau.
The survey's findings will be consolidated on the web-based interactive Viet Nam Investment Monitoring Platform that enables authorities and enterprises to make enquiries to better understand the domestic investment environment.
FIA director Do Nhat Hoang invited all enterprises to participate in the survey, saying that it would create a chance for participants to get free access to business partners, suppliers and potential customers who have taken part in the UNIDO international network of investment and technological promotion offices.
With UNIDO's technical and financial supports, the survey is expected to be conducted every two years.
In addition to the Investment Monitoring Platform, FIA is joining hands with UNIDO and the Viet Nam Chamber of Commerce and Industry to develop the Supplier and Partnership Exchange (SPX), which is intended to strengthen the linkages between foreign and domestic enterprises in sectors such as metal processing, plastics and footwear.
The survey's data and the SPX will be integrated to support domestic firms in promoting investment and linking them with foreign-invested and large-scale enterprises, said Nilguen Tas, a UNIDO representative in Viet Nam.
