Overseas remittance to Vietnam slips by US$500M

Families relying on remittance may need to cut expenses as the global economy slows down and interest rates on the dollar are kept under control.

In a news release, the Vietnam government reported that overseas remittance via Ho Chi Minh City-based banks in the first six months of 2012 reached US$1.9 billion, down by US$500 million against the same period last year, according to official statistics.

The decrease is mainly attributed to global economic downturn, “frozen” real estate market, and controlled ceiling dollar interest rates.

The city’s major remittance sources come from the US, Australia, Canada and Europe Taiwan, the Republic of Korea and Japan.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
