BCG leaders shared with investors at a meeting this month that real estate and renewable energy will be the two main activities of the group. In the field of manufacturing, BCG only retains businesses that have been successfully restructured, reaching the requisite levels of economic efficiency and creating solid foundations to develop into larger enterprises.
BCG expects to reach the after-tax profit of VND312 billion ($13.56 million) this year, VND681.5 ($29.6 million) in 2020, and VND826.5 billion ($35.93 million) in 2023. In real estate, BCG has implemented the Radisson Blu Hoi An project with the scale of 734 apartments and coastal villas, King Crown Village Thao Dien in District 2, Ho Chi Minh City with 17 villas in the first phase and serviced apartments and a hotel, as well as offices for lease in the second phase.
BCG leaders shared that in 2019-2020, Radisson Blu Hoi An and King Crown Village Thao Dien will bring VND900 billion ($39.13 million) in profit to BCG, and the group is negotiating to transfer part of the group’s capital in the two projects. BCG owns a hundred per cent in Radisson Blu Hoi An, and 48.5 per cent in King Crown Village Thao Dien.
"If we close the deals with our partners soon, BCG will fulfil the profit plan for 2019. Currently, the deal is still in progress, but we are confident in implementing our 2019 profit plan. If the deal is delayed for any reason, the profit will be transferred by the beginning of 2020," Pham Minh Tuan, deputy CEO of BCG, shared.
The upcoming real estate projects of BCG include Condotel Pegas Nha Trang (2.74 hectares, implemented in 2020-2021), Bao Loc urban area (17ha, in 2019-2023), Loc Phat residential area (Bao Loc, Lam Dong – 46.9ha, implemented from 2019 to 2022), Hoa Ninh residential area (Di Linh, Lam Dong –49.3ha, implemented in 2020-2023), Hiep Binh Chanh urban area (6.3ha, implemented in 2020-2022).
Regarding the capital to meet BCG's investment needs, according to Nguyen Ho Nam, chairman of BCG, most of BCG's projects are co-operating with international corporations on issues like technical and technological issues, branding, or capital co-operation.
BCG has signed a contract with KPMG Singapore to become the exclusive consultant for BCG to seek international funding and domestic banks to increase credit room for BCG to implement a new project. Along with that, BCG received capital contributions from South Korean investors including Hanwha Energy involved in solar power plant projects and real estate firm Woomi.
BCG is also working with a strategic partner from Europe. In the field of renewable energy, BCG finished two solar energy projects in Long An with the total capacity of over 140MW. Of these, the BCG-CME Long An 1 solar power plant, which in BCG holds 37.5 per cent, has the capacity of 40.5MW and is expected to bring revenue of VND140-150 billion ($6.1-6.5 million) per year from 2020.
BCG-CME Long An 2 (GAIA) has the capacity of 100.5MW and is expected to launch operations in this November, bringing revenue of about VND320 billion per year from 2020. BCG has a 32.5 per cent stake in GAIA.
BCG-CME Long An 1 solar power plant sells electricity to Electricity of Vietnam at the price of 9.35 US cent per kW for 20 years, while GAIA hopes to sell electricity at 8.72 US cent per kW. In addition to the two projects above, BCG is trying to complete procedures for other solar power plants in Long An (100MW), Dak Lak (50MW), Gia Lai (300MW), Tay Ninh (165MW), a surface solar power plant in Quang Nam (200MW), a wind power plant in Soc Trang (50MW).
At the two solar power plants in Long An, BCG worked with Vietnam-Oman Investment (VOI) and took up VND2 trillion in loans from local banks ($86.96 million – 65 per cent of the total investment capital of the two projects).

According to URA data, developers only sold 928 units in October (955 units including executive condominiums), compared to 1,270 units from the previous month.
However, on a year-to-year comparison, the figures show an 84.9% increase.
The new homes sold in October in the Core Central Region (CCR) tripled to 182 units from September, the biggest recorded since March 2016, with Singaporeans buying 133 of those units.
Analysts said the good performance was mainly due to new project launches in the area, including Midtown Bay Residences, Neu at Novena and Royalgreen. The other new launch this month was Midwood, within the Outside of Central Region (OCR)
The deficiency in major launches in the city fringe and mass-market segments like the OCR could have been a factor in the sales drop, said OrangeTee and Tie head of research and consultancy Christine Sun.
“Sales volumes tend to be lower when more luxury projects are being launched in a particular month, owing to the higher price tags and lower affordability,” she said.
URA Realis data show that this year saw 104 non-landed new homes sales reach S$5 million and above, which is the highest mark since 155 were purchased from January to October 2011, added Sun.
High-profile transactions, such as James Dyson’s purchase of Singapore’s most expensive apartment, contributed to “significant positive sentiments for developer sales,” said property analyst Ong Kah Seng.
“Despite the global trade and geopolitical uncertainties, we believe demand for Singapore private homes is still relatively stable given the tight labour market, favourable interest rate environment, and relatively healthy household balance sheet,” said Tricia Song, Colliers International head of research for Singapore.
Ong believes the country’s properties will become more attractive for foreign buyers wanting stable investments.
“There’s increasing international attractiveness of Singapore residential properties as offering longer term stability to all profiles of buyers, including from foreigners who are eschewing investments in Hong Kong due to that city’s heightening social turbulence,” he noted.

Singapore now claims the top spot for real estate investment prospects in terms of price increases in 2020. Hong Kong, rocked by months of violent political protests, has fallen from 14th place to the bottom of the pile in 2019.
Hong Kong’s drop to the least-favoured destination for real estate investment next year is due to its retail and tourism sectors taking a beating, affecting economic growth.
The city-state has benefited from a surge in interest among investors who are steering clear of Hong Kong and China, which are viewed as “geopolitical flashpoints”.
For the past few quarters, apartment prices in Singapore have rebounded, showing resilience in the residential market, with the office sector mostly absorbing the oversupply.
Hong Kong’s problems bode well for Singapore, at least for a little while, according to Urban Land Institute CEO Ed Walter.
“A lot of theory in investing is less about what was, versus what is or what is going to be,” he added.
Singapore also saw a rise in property transactions in the first half, with majority of the activities driven by cross-border capital. Deals amounted to $4.9 billion (S$6.6 billion) in the period, a 73% year-on-year growth.
Walter described Hong Kong as having a “very resilient market”, backed by its high property prices. He believes that after the protests, sectors such as retail can recover quickly.
“The bigger issue is what happens from a political perspective and what does that signal about Hong Kong’s place as a financial centre,” he said.
Singapore placed second-to-last among 22 centres as recently as 2017, overtaken by cities such as Sydney, Tokyo and Bangalore as vacancies rose and rents dropped. In 2017, Hong Kong placed 18th.

Hana Bank’s private banker (PB) business division held the seminar for affluent customers to explain the procedure for taking out loans and remitting money to make an investment in real estate in major cities around the world, including New York, Los Angeles in the United States and Tokyo in Japan.
Most notably, the participants showed a keen interest in directly investing in the properties introduced during the seminar. Yang Yong-hwa, head consultant on property investment at KEB Hana Bank, said, “Real estate in the advanced market, such as the United States and Japan, has been recognized as a risk-free asset and many customers showed much interest in it because of relatively lax regulations on lending.”
S. Korea’s Big Investors Flocking to Overseas Real Estate
Hana Bank established a partnership with global real estate service providers, including KF Korea and Global PMC, in March and has been seeking to launch the real estate consulting business. KB Kookmin Bank also introduced the global KB real estate consulting service in 2014, while Woori Bank is holding consultation sessions on investment in foreign properties by making use of its global network which is the largest among domestic banks. Shinhan Bank established a partnership with global real estate service firm, KF Korea, in April and will hold the first seminar on overseas real estate on May 27.
As an increasing number of commercial banks have been pushing into the overseas real estate consulting market, areas for consultation are getting increasingly diversified. Tokyo has the highest demand as it is relatively easy to access and the price of real estate there is on the rise before the 2020 Summer Olympics. However, emerging countries that have a high growth potential, such as Vietnam, recently see more investment coming in.
