RNS Number : 5491D VietNam Holding Limited 03 April 2025
For immediate release
VietNam Holding Limited ("VNH" or the "Company")
Estimated Daily Net Asset Value (NAV)
Global and regional equity markets sold-off in early trading on 03 Apr 2025,
after the U.S government announced its new tariff policy, including a
universal baseline tariff of 10% effective 05 Apr 2025 and a discounted
reciprocal tariff for specific trading partners effective 09 Apr 2025.
In announcing details of his reciprocal tariff policy in a much-anticipated
'Liberation Day' address, US President Trump spoke favourably of Vietnam:
"Then we have Vietnam - great negotiators, great people. They like me, I like
them." However, he then added "the problem is they charge us 90%. We're going
to charge them 46%".
Vietnam's reciprocal tariff rate, at 46%, is second only to China (54%), and
significantly above peers like Thailand (36%) and Malaysia (24%). The
executive order issued by President Trump does allow for a modification of
tariffs - they may increase if there's retaliation or decrease if partners
align with U.S. economic/security goals. The Vietnamese government recently
passed a Decree to reduce the import tax on a number of goods originating from
the US and is sending a delegation to the US this weekend, including a deputy
Prime Minister.
The news on the tariffs hit the domestic equity market in Vietnam and the
Vietnam All Share index fell by 7.3%. The estimated net asset value (NAV) per
share of the Fund also decreased by 7.4%.
The Company announces that, at its close of business on 03 Apr 2025, its
Estimated NAV was USD 108.9 million or USD 4.624 per share and GBP 82.7
million or GBP 3.510 per share (GBP/USD = 1.3172).
