19 Profile of FIE Respondents Survey includes 1,970 Foreign Invested Enterprises (FIEs) from 45 countries, equal to about 16% of those found in the GSO Enterprise Census 75% of FIEs in Vietnam are from neighboring Asian countries (especially Taiwan, South Korea and Japan) Average FIE is relatively small in: Employment : 75% have less than 300 employees 11% have over 500 employees Investment size: 63% licensed for less than $2.5 million capital; 13% licensed for over $25 million 65% are involved in some form of low-end manufacturing; 30% in services sector

22 Convergence in Economic Governance among Successful FDI Magnets
23 Increased Performance Yet Growing Pessimism among FIEs Performance improved: Gross sales revenue in 2011 was $1.3 mil, up $300,000 compared to 2010 (biggest increases in manufacturing) Profitability on invested capital increased from 11% in 2010 to 22% in 2011 Yet, FIEs were more pessimistic about investment plans for the next 2 years 39% were optimistic about expanding business compared to 66% in 2010 Pessimism was most pronounced in manufacturing sector (only 33% planed to expand)
24 Profitability Manufacturing Construction Service Agriculture Natural Profit/Capital Investment (median) (%) Profit/Total Sales in 2010 (median) (%) Firms with losses in 2010 (Calculated) (%) Firms with losses in 2010 (Self-Reported) (%) Performance of 2011 PCI-FIE Respondents Sales Manufacturing Construction Service Agriculture Natural Total sales of median firm (Million of USD) Median sales per unit of labor (1000s of USD) Expenditures Manufacturing Construction Service Agriculture Natural Total expenditures of median firm (Million of USD) Median expenditures per unit of labor (1000s of USD)
25 Limited Spill-Over to Domestic Private Sector 84% are 100% Foreign Owned (same as 2010 PCI FIE survey) FIEs purchase 57.5% of their intermediate products from overseas; only 40% sourced locally Outputs of FIEs primarily destined for export 46.7 % of all firms and 57% of manufacturing enterprises export more than half of their output directly or indirectly 15% of all FIEs sell to foreign individuals and companies within Vietnam There are positive benefits for trade-related services => Lack of linkage to domestic private sector limits technology, management, and productivity spillovers
26 Determinants of FDI in Vietnam 32% of FIEs currently in Vietnam considered other countries (mostly Thailand, Cambodia and China), of these 72% selected Vietnam over competition 28% chose Vietnam as part of a multi-country investment strategy FIEs in Vietnam continue to select Vietnam for: Labor cost advantage, political stability, and tax or land incentives and Heavily discount other governance factors (such as intellectual property, access to decision makers, investor protection, and contract enforcement)
27 Why FIEs selected Vietnam?
28 Drivers of Investment 2011 PCI-FIE Respondents FIEs in Vietnam primarily are in low cost operations 65% are involved in some form of low-end manufacturing requiring low cost labor: apparel, shoes, light electronics, and food processing FIEs in Industrial zones tend to select tax and land incentives
29 Factors Driving Selection of Provinces
30 Hold-ups during Customs procedures (by province)
31 Customs procedures FIEs paying less bribes to expedite customs procedures (55% in 2011 v.s 70% in 2010) Yet, custom hold-ups increased
32 Perception of Key Business Environment Indicators Improvements in: Entry costs, Land Tenure, Informal Charges, Transparency (relationships less important) and Infrastructure Areas for further reform: Transparency of legal normative documents, issuance of LURCs, and customs bottlenecks for existing FIEs. IPR enforcement, contracts, and labor quality to attract higher value-added FDI
33 What about US and EU FIEs?

36 Policy Implications Focus on Productivity Improvements: Reduce the costs and risks for investors Explore outsourcing of key services to private sector to increase efficiency (e.g. customs) Improve infrastructure connectivity and efficiency Improve Investment Attraction of Higher-value added Investors Improve labor quality and education Enhance quality of governance and public consultation Develop industry-specific strategies and investment promotion strategies Improve overall performance and efficiency of the market economy
37 Questions for discussion Is the data surprising to foreign investors? What regulations and factors are most detrimental to existing FIEs to increase investment and profitability? What regulations and factors are most detrimental to attracting new investors with higher value manufacturing and services?
