2.1.1.Currentstatusofsteelindustrydevelopment Vietnam'ssteelindustryisstillveryyoung,builtinthe60softhe20thcentury,withthebirthofthefirst batchofcastironin1963,butitwasnot until 1975 that the first batch of steel was born at the iron company Thai Nguyen steel During theperiodfrom1975to1990,Vietnam'ssteelindustrydeveloped very slowly, mostly using steel sources from Eastern EuropeancountriesandtheformerSovietUnion, outputduringthisperiodremainedat40,000-80,000tons/year.year Since 1990,Vietnam'ssteelindustryhashadmanyinnovationsandstronggrowth.Theestablishment of Vietnam Steel Corporation in 1990hasmadeanimportantcontributiontothedevelopmentand stability of the industry Theyear1996markedthetransformationofthesteelindustrywiththebirthof fourjointventuresteelproductioncompanies:Vietnam-JapanSteelJointVenture(Vina Kyoei), Viet Uc (Vinausteel), Viet Han (VPS)andVietnam-Singapore(Nasteel)withatotalcapacityofabout 840,000 tons/year From 1990 until now, many private enterprises and joint ventures with foreign countries have been established,Vietnam'ssteelindustryhasreallydevelopedstronglywithatotal capacity of up to million tons/year Currently, there are 3enterpriseswithlargecapacityonthe market: Southern Steel Company with acapacityof910,000tons/year,Viet-PominaSteelGroupwith a capacity of 600,000 tons/year,ThaiNguyenIronandSteelCompanywithacapacityof550,000 tons/year Basically, steel products include two types: long steel and flat steel.Longsteelincludessquarebillets, barsteel,wiresteel,constructionshapedsteelandsteelpipes.Longsteeliswidelyusedinconstruction, mechanical engineering and the energy industry Flat steel,ontheotherhandincludesflatbillet,hot rolled steel coil (HRC), cold rolledsteelcoil(CRC),electrostaticsteelsheet(OCS),hotdipgalvanized steel (HDG) and heavy steel sheet Flat steel is mainly used in the automotive industry, heavy machinery,pipesandtubes 2.1.2.Existingsurplusandshortage AccordingtoareportbyVietnam Finance and Investment, Vietnam's steel industry is facing a paradox that has notbeenresolvedforalongtime.Thereisanoversupplyofconstructionsteel,butaserious shortage of production materials and steel for supporting industries This is also the source of the "skyrocketing" increases in steel prices from the beginning of2022untilnow.Thisnotonlymakesthe constructionindustry"wobble"butalsoaffectstheoverallgrowthoftheeconomy Accordingtocurrentstatistics,thetotalproductioncapacityofthedomesticsteelindustryis about 30 milliontons/year,rankingfirstamong Southeast Asian countries, while Vietnam's steel industry is only operating at less than 70%ofcapacity.design.Domesticproductionincreasedsharply,butinthefirst5 monthsof2022,thewholecountryspentover4billionUSDtoimportmore than 5.68 million tons of ironandsteelofallkinds,anincreaseof1.9%overthe same period The largest import is from China with a volume accounting fornearly50%,reaching2.6milliontons,worthmorethan1.83billion USD The steel industry in 2023 has a slight recovery The steel industry is facing many difficulties, especially the sharp declineinstandardcaststeelpipepricesindemandanddelayedconsumption, leading to increased inventory

AccordingtotheVietnamSteelAssociation(VSA),inMarch2021,theGovernmentset the ceiling price for members of the steel associationat15,000VND/kg.Thepurposeofthisregulationisto stabilize domestic steel prices, avoiding the situation of pushing prices up, causing difficulties for constructionbusinessesandpeople 11 2.2.2.2.Protectingdomesticgoods:Taxingimports

productionandconsumptionfromunfaircompetitionfromforeigngoods One of the most common trade protection measuresisimposingimporttaxesonsteelproducts.Import tax is an amount ofmoneythatanimportermustpaytothegovernmentwhenimportingacertainitem Import taxes have the effect of increasing the cost of foreign goods, reducing their competitive advantagecomparedtodomesticgoods TheVietnamesegovernmenthasappliedimporttaxesonsteelproductsformanyyears,toprotect the domestic steel industry from the intrusion of steel from China, Korea, Japan, and other countries According to

However,tradeprotectionpoliciesalsohaveundesirableconsequences,suchasincreasingproduction costs, reducing the efficiency ofresourceallocation,reducingthecompetitivenessofthedomesticsteel industry, and disturbing international trade relations Therefore, the government needs to have consistent,balanced,andflexiblepoliciestoprotectthedomesticsteelindustryinareasonable and effectiveway ● SOLUTIONS Thepolicyofstabilizingthepriceofsteelproductsisoneoftheimportant policies of the government to protect the domestic steel industry, stabilize the market, and promote economic development However,thispolicyalsoencountersmanychallengesandlimitations,suchas reducing the efficiency of resource allocation, reducing the competitiveness of the domestic steel industry, and disturbing international trade relations Therefore, there needstobesolutionstoimprovepricestabilitypolicies forsteelproducts,toincreaseefficiency,suitability,andflexibility One possible solution is to switch from a direct price intervention policy to an indirect price intervention policy A direct price intervention policy is a policy in which the government sets a maximum or minimum price for steel products, such as aceilingprice,floorprice,orfixedprice.This policy can causeunwantedconsequences,suchasshortages,surpluses,orblackmarketpenetration.An indirect price intervention policy is one in which the government influences prices through other measures,suchastaxes,subsidies,orimportrestrictions.Thispolicycanbemoreflexible,less likely tocauseexcessiveintervention,andcanbeadjustedaccordingtomarketconditions Anothersolutionthatcanbeproposedistoincreasecooperationwithothersteelproducing countries, to unify regulations and standardsonquality,safety,andenvironment.Thiscanhelpreduceunfair competition, avoid trade disputes, and enhance the reputation of the domestic steel industry Furthermore, cooperation with other steel producing countries can also create opportunities for the domestic steel industry toaccessnewmarkets,learnadvancedtechnologies,andtakeadvantageof cheaperrawmaterials 12 Another solution that canbeproposedistopromoteinnovationandimprovethecompetitivenessofthe domestic steel industry This can help the domestic steelindustrynotonlydependonthegovernment's pricestabilitypolicy,butalsobecomeindependentanddevelopitself.Todothis,thereneeds to be investment in research and development,applicationofnewtechnologies,managementandproduction improvements, and
