changed three times, there have been no significant changes in global currency markets since the expected rate cut The market RMB exchange rate varied considerably and reached new highs as the Chinese government actively altered the reference rate 3.1.2 Domestic situation 3.1.2.1 Socio-economic situation Although this is the lowest increase in the period 2011-2020, GDP increased by 2.91 percent year-on-year in 2020 amid the Covid-19 epidemic Despite serious changes affecting many socio-economic sectors, Vietnam has achieved remarkable successes, with the highest growth rate in the world in 2020 The company registration scenario in 2020 has created great results thanks to the government's and business community's devotion and efforts to fight the negative impacts of the Covid-19 epidemic The overall number of newly registered businesses in 2020 is expected to be 134.9 thousand, down 2.3 percent from the previous year, but the average registered capital per enterprise, has risen by 32.3 percent to 16.6 billion VND According to the findings of a business trends study of processing and manufacturing companies, they were more optimistic about their production and business situation in the first quarter of 2021 than in the fourth quarter of 2020, with 81 percent ranking it as steady or outstanding The Covid-19 outbreak was complicated across the world in 2020, but it was well-managed in the country, so business activity and consumer services increased significantly in the last months of the year However, transportation, particularly international transportation, has a variety of challenges In order to promote the economy's recovery from the Covid-19 epidemic, the State Bank of Vietnam raised the operating interest rate in 2020 Despite tough pandemic developments, insurance business operations 92 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com continue to function smoothly and safely; capital mobilization for the stock market economy increased by roughly 20% over the previous year Because of the disastrous impact of the Covid-19 outbreak on all manufacturing and commercial activities, realized social investment capital grew by 5.7 percent in 2020, the smallest gain since 2011 However, the rate of increase in realized capital from the State budget was highest from 2011 to 2020 The year 2020 witnessed substantial attempts in import and export activities, despite the fact that the local and worldwide economies were severely impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic and worldwide trade disruption The total value of imported and exported goods is reach to 543.9 billion dollars in 2020, up 5.1 percent from the previous year As a consequence of growing petrol and local gas costs in accordance with global fuel costs, growing rice prices in accordance with export prices, and increased consumer demand at the end of the year, the (CPI) climbed by 0.1 percent in December 2020 compared to the previous month and by 0.19 percent compared to the same time last year The consumer price index climbed 3.23 percent on average in 2020 compared to 2019 The commodity trade rate fell by 0.74 percent in 2020 compared to 2019, owing to the negative export price of Vietnamese commodities abroad versus the price of importing commodities from other countries into Vietnam 3.1.2.2 The development prospects of the sector in the coming period The fourth industrial revolution has ushered in a new era with farreaching impacts on all aspects of life and fields One of the most affected business sectors is construction and commerce, which are closely tied to science and technology Due to very efficient vaccination deployments in countries including the United States, the United Kingdom, and Israel, the COVID-19 epidemic appears to have come to an end in recent weeks The need for construction is 93 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com also increasing Furthermore, construction technology is quickly evolving and attracting substantial investment capital According to London-based construction technology investor Concrete VC, “the rise of venture capital in construction technology has outpaced the space of the larger venture capital market.” According to BMI, Vietnam's construction sector will expand at a 6.9% annual rate over the next ten years, which is lower than the previous ten-year average (7.1%) but still higher than the worldwide average, implying that the Vietnamese construction industry has reached the end of its expansion phase and is set to enter the restructuring phase Vietnam's young population and fast urbanization boost construction demand, with a focus on residences, industry, offices, and urban infrastructure The young population is a huge human resource as well as a long-term driving force behind the increasing demand trend By 2020, Vietnam's population is predicted to grow to 97.58 million According to the World Bank, Vietnam's golden population period began in 2006 and will last until 2033 As the golden population ebbs, development demand will shift away from schools and industries, offices, and toward health care buildings to support the senior population Demand for housing, commercial, public buildings, and urban infrastructure is being driven by urbanization patterns Only around a third of Vietnam's population now resides in urban areas, which is low in comparison to other nations in the region This emphasizes Vietnamese cities' enormous development potential According to the World Bank, Vietnam's urban population would rise at a 2.6 percent annual rate over the next ten years, ranking it third among ASEAN countries Cities will host more than half of Vietnam's population by 2039, increasing to 57.3 percent by 2050 High and stable economic growth, low inflation and interest rates, and perfect demand development conditions The stable and rapidly growing economy of Vietnam produces significant demand Vietnam's economy is now 94 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com the world's third most stable, with the fastest growth rate in the area In 2021, Vietnam's GDP is predicted to expand by 6.7 percent, placing it 14th out of 192 countries and territories worldwide and second among ASEAN members The construction industry has benefited from low inflation and borrowing rates, which has created a favorable climate for both contractors and clients In recent years, Vietnam's inflation rate has been stable, hovering between 2% and 3% each year, or about half of the 20-year average However, in compared to the rest of the region, Vietnam's inflation is high and showing signs of gradually growing, and the country's economy is currently producing over its capacity, which may lead to an increase in the cost of basic goods Since 2015, Vietnam's financing interest rates have remained consistent at low levels, benefiting both clients and building contractors Even if inflation rises, interest rates in Vietnam will remain steady, as global interest rates tend to fall in response to trade disputes, boosting economic activity Construction is a conditional activity, which means it must be supervised by the government through legal instruments enforced by state management agencies Vietnam's Ministry of Construction is the country's government-run construction agency, and the Law on Construction 2014 is the most important piece of law The legislative framework for the building sector in Vietnam, on the other hand, has not kept pace with the country's socioeconomic development and has to be updated on a regular basis 3.2 Business orientation of Minh Dang Construction and Trading Joint Stock Company towards 2030 Minh Dang Construction and Trading Joint Stock Company is one of the enterprises with

efficiency - Based on the accumulated experience, effectively expanding the company's business scale along with the quality of works, construction procedures are always guaranteed which has helped the company get customer satisfaction and trust from suppliers - The Minh Dang company has free cash flow and good capital source because it has high equity, large amounts of cash available in the company and profits invested in other companies and banked these have helped the company complete projects well, attract new projects and make a lot of profit - Focusing on investing in short-term assets has

about customers - The company's capital is still heavily occupied by customers and suppliers, causing many risks and losing investment opportunities to generate profits - The assets in the company are mainly leased assets which increase the company's expenses and reduce profits - The number of inventory, inventory turnover and days of inventory on hand are all higher than peers in the same industry and of the same size which makes more costs and reduces the company's ability to generate revenue along with losing many opportunities compared to competitors - Operating and Investing activities have not really effective because these activities all have negative values, especially, operating activity must 98 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com positive to be good for the

pandemic, many companies have faced difficulties in business, including Minh Dang Company, the government has had timely and reasonable policies to promote economic growth which includes as follows:

dramatically decreased compared to previous years and the policy on interest rates was greatly reduced, Vietnam's inflation rate remained low (under 4%) compared to other countries in the region This illustrates that the market is stable and does not put pressure on commodity prices which helps the company not to be affected too much by prices ➢ Threat - The construction industry is highly dependent on the price of raw materials When the price of raw materials is low, the company will save costs 99 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com and increase profits By contrast, when the price increases, it will be a huge barrier for businesses when implementing projects - Vietnam's construction market is very potential and has attracted the attention of large construction companies in the world There have been many international companies entering the Vietnamese market which are companies have grown very well in both capital and scale and these companies also have many market shares in other countries Minh Dang Company will not only have to compete with domestic companies but also with foreign companies above They compete mainly on price to attract more customers This will put pressure on the profit and revenue of Minh Dang company Moreover, foreign companies and large domestic companies both have better staff who can help companies have better

market, research and enter other more promising markets, and develop and strengthen cooperation outside the company - Looking for opportunities to increase the company's share in the market because Vietnam's construction market is very potential and attracting a lot of FDI To this, the company needs to have policies to deal with the backlog of profits, expenses, and other company activities ➢
