1 CHAPTER X INFRASTRUCTURE 10.1 Public Private Partnerships Key Legislation > Law on Investment (No QH11) > Decree on Investment on the Basis of Build- Operate-Transfer [BOT), Build-Transfer-Operate (BTO) and Build-Transfer (BT) Contracts (No ND-CP) ("Decree on BOT") > Law on Tendering [No QH11) Up till now, the Vietnamese Government has relied primarily on the State Budget and official development assistance CODA") to fund the development of infrastructure in Vietnam. However, given the quick pace at which its economy is growing, these sources of funds are insufficient to satisfy Vietnam's infrastructure development needs. In order to fill this funding gap, Vietnam must look towards the use of Public Private Partnerships ("PPPs"), which involves the collaboration between the Government and the private sector to carry out projects, where the responsibilities and risks are shared by both the Government and the private sector. There is currently no single law specifically governing PPPs in Vietnam, however there are a number of laws and regulations which apply to PPPs, the most important of which are set out in the sections below Law on Investment The Law on Investment covers investments from both domestic and foreign sources. Investments are categorized into 'direct investments', where the investor participates directly in the management of the investment activity and 'indirect investments', where the investor only participates passively in the management of the investment activity. The table below sets out the various forms of direct and indirect investments.
2 Direct investments establishment of wholly foreignowned or domestic-owned companies; establishment of joint venture companies between foreign and domestic investors; investment in contractual forms, including business co-operation contracts, BOT contracts, build-transfer-operate ("BTO") contracts and build-transfer contracts; investment in business development; purchasing shares or contributing capital to participate in the management of investment activities; mergers and acquisitions; and other forms of direct investment Indirect Investments purchase of shares, bonds and other valuable papers; investment through securities investment funds; and investments through other intermediary financial institutions Investors are generally permitted to invest in all sectors and industries which are not prohibited by iaw. Sectors in which investment is prohibited are set out in a 'Prohibited List', while sectors in which investment is subject to certain conditions are set out in a 'Conditional List'. Additionally, conditions provided by the Government also apply to foreign investors in accordance with Vietnam's WTO commitments. The Law on Investment states that investors are permitted to carry out various forms of direct investment, including BCC, BOT, BTO and BT. In relation to infrastructure projects, Article 23(2) of the Law on Investment provides as follows: Investors shall be permitted to sign a BOT, BTO and BT contract with the competent State body in order to implement projects for new construction, expansion, modernization and operation of infrastructure projects in the sectors of traffic, electricity production and business, water supply or drainage, waste treatment and other sectors as stipulated by the Prime Minister of the Government. The Government shall provide regulations on investment sectors; on the conditions, order, procedures and methods of implementation of investment projects; and on the rights and obligations of the parties implementing an investment project in the
3 contractual form of BOT, BTO and BT." Decree on BOT, BTO and BT Contracts The Decree on BOT was passed by the Government in May 2007, which replaced the previous existing regulations on BOT, BTO and BT contracts. Under the Decree on BOT, the Government encourages the implementation of projects for constructing and operating new infrastructure facilities or for renovating, expanding, modernizing, operating or managing the following existing works: Roads, bridges, tunnels and relevant utility facilities; Railways and tramways; Airports, seaports, river-ports and ferry-landings; Water plants, drainage, waste or sewage treatment systems; Power plants, power transmission lines; and Other infrastructure project works as decided by the Prime Minister. The Decree on BOT prescribes requires that investors comply with minimum equity requirements for carrying out an infrastructure project based on the total investment capital of the project. The table below sets out the relevant minimum equity requirements: Total Investment Capital Minimum Equity Ratio Less than VND75 Billion 30% Between VND75 Billion to below 20% VND1,500 Billion VND1.500 Billion or more 10% The diagram on the following page sets out the procedure for the identification, preparation, bidding, negotiation and implementation of BOT, BTO, BT projects set out by the Decree on BOT.

5 5.1.3 Law on Tendenng The Law on Tendering does not require that public tendering be carried out for all projects that originate from the State (or one of its agencies). Public tendering is only mandatory where more than 30% of a project is financed by the State. "Finance by the State" is defined to include the use of State Budget funds, Government guarantees for credit facilities, credit facilities for investment and development of the State, investment and development funds of state owned enterprises and other capital funds managed by the State-Certain exceptions apply to the public tendering requirement, including the following: a) limited tendering, in cases where a foreign donor providing the financing source for the project requests for this or where the project is of a highly technical or of a research or experimental nature for which only a limited number of bidders are capable of satisfying the requirements of the project; b) direct appointment, including in cases where a foreign donor providing the financing source for the project requests for this, in special cases such as natural disaster or war, in projects of a confidential nature or national interest where the Prime Minister deems it necessary; c) direct procurement, where a contract was signed for a tender package with similar contents within the previous six (6) months; d) in special cases, with the approval of the Prime Minister. 93 i
