A toll station on the Hà Nội - Hải Phòng Highway built under a Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) model. - VNA/VNS Photo Huy Hùng Viet Nam News HÀ NỘI – Initial assessments indicate that the actual costs of most build-operate-transfer (BOT) projects on National Highway No.1 and Hồ Chí Minh Highway (the section passing through the Central Highlands) were lower than planned, meaning investors will collect their payback from road users faster than anticipated. Speaking to Báo Giao Thông (Transportation Newspaper), Dương Hồ Minh, Deputy Director of the Hồ Chí Minh Highway’s Project Management Board, said the board has reviewed and submitted the settlement reports of three BOT projects and all were lower compared to the originally approved total investment. For example, the original total investment for KM1793+600 – KM 1824+00 (Đắk Nông Province) was VNĐ1,023 billion (nearly $46 million).

Nguyễn Danh Huy, general director of the transport ministry’s Public-Private Partnership Investment Project Management Department, speaks to Tuổi trẻ (Youth) newspaper about measures to attract investors to participate in BOT projects. Resolution 20 lays out plans for building certain sections of the North-South expressway in the east during the 2017-20 period. Why has it increased the rate of owner’s equity for investors participating in the project from 15 per cent to at least 20 per cent of the total investment capital? In principle, as the owner’s equity rate is higher, it is easier for credit institutions to provide capital for the project. But it would also lead to an increase in investment costs for the project as the benefit ratio of the owners’ equity will be higher than the interest rate of banks. In financial terms, this rate of owners’ equity of investors is called the financial leverage ratio. The 20 per cent increase takes into account the ability to mobilise … [Read more...] about Clarity needed to lure investors in BOT projects
