Equity strategy: Vietnam has been the worst
performing market in Asia y-t-d. 2008 earnings fell by
30% as companies wrote off property losses. But some
quality companies produced decent results and now look
attractively valued.
Fixed income strategy: Government embarks
on subsidised lending programme substantially
draining excess liquidity and VGB appetite. Sell VGBs
on tight(ening) VND liquidity, policy uncertainty.
FX strategy: More stable conditions for USD-VND.VND still looks expensive and capital inflows will continue
to shrink. Expect continued gradual depreciation.

The struggle continues
with EPS falling 30% in 2008
Vietnams stock market has continued its gloomy
performance this year. The Vietnam Index has fallen
22% y-t-d, making it the worst performer in Asia. By
contrast, MSCI Asia ex Japan is down only 12%.
Since its peak in March 2007, the Vietnam Index has
now fallen 81% in US dollar terms.

Other indicators of activity look equally bad.
Turnover has dwindled to almost nothing: average
daily value of stocks traded in February for the Ho
Chi Minh and Hanoi exchanges combined was
only USD13m (see Chart 2). Total market cap has
shrunk to USD10bn, with no listed stocks having
a market cap of more than USD1bn, and only four
over USD500m (of which one has hit its foreign
ownership limit, and one has only USD12m of
foreign buying room left). Table 8 at the end of

Foreign investor selling has eased a little: after
total net selling of USD127m in September-
December, foreigners have sold only USD2m
since the start of this year. Mainly, though, this is
because almost all foreign money, apart from
closed-end country funds, has now exited the
country. There is some risk that the country funds
are unwound or closed (the PXP Vietnam
Emerging Equity Fund, for example, recently
allowed fundholders to redeem their shares and
receive the underlying holdings, most of which
they could then sell). But, in general, the foreign

Clarity on earnings
With all 2008 results announced by end-February,
we now have some much-awaited clarity on how
bad earnings were last year, and how the valuation
of the market now stands. Table 4 shows the
aggregate results for all listed companies (on both
exchanges) and Table 5 details for the 23 largest
(those with market cap over USD100m).

The overall picture is straightforward. Sales
growth was extremely strong, up almost 40% y-o-
y, but decremental margins allowed only 8%
growth in operating profits. Large write-offs of
real estate and equity investment losses, however,
pushed down net profit by 25%. Capital-raising
made the EPS line even worse, with a 29.5% y-o-
y decline. ROE fell to 11%, from 18% in 2007.

former foreign investor favourites such as REE,
Gemadept (GMD) and Sacom Cable (SAM).
But there were some impressive results too,
mainly from companies that stuck to their core
businesses and did not dabble in property
development and banking. Vietnam Dairy
Products (better known as Vinamilk), for
example, saw EPS growth of 28%, with improved
margins; it managed a return-on-equity of 27%.
Among large listed companies, PV Drilling(PVD), Hoa Phat (HPG), Vinh Son (VSH), PV
Transport (PVT) and Vietnam National
Reinsurance (VNR) all saw EPS grow by more
than 20%.
What this means for valuation
The 2008 results were somewhat worse than we
had been expecting: our valuation analysis
previously was based on the assumption of a 10%
decline in EPS in 2008 (and 15% rise in 2009).
On the basis of the actual data, the VN Index is
trading on a PE of 9.6x historical earnings.
We are now assuming that EPS will be flat y-o-y
in 2009 and grow by 10% in 2010 (since
operatingearnings grew by 8% last year, we think
those are fairly conservative assumptions, as long
as real estate losses were fully written off by
auditors in the latest results). That would put the
index on a 12-month forward PE of 9.5x (Chart
6). That is the cheapest level it has ever traded at
(with the actual 2008 EPS data, valuations in
retrospect were much higher in mid-2008 than
they seemed at the time). But it is not especially
cheap by regional standards. China is on a similar
multiple, Indonesia is on 8.2x and Thailand on
7.8x. These markets also have better earnings
visibility than Vietnam, where there are still no
consensus earnings estimates available.

That said, there are some companies that now
trade on low valuations. As shown in Table 8,
Vinamilk is on a historic low PE of 10.8x, PV
Fertiliser on 7.8x, PV Drilling on 7.9x, FPT on
7.2x and Hoa Phat on 5.8x.
Adventurous investors might be willing to dip
their toes back into the water on a long-term basis
to buy some structurally sound companies on
reasonable valuations. Overall, however, our view
remains that the Vietnamese market is likely to
continue to struggle this year, and that there are
more attractive markets in Asia which investors
would be advised to enter first if they believe that
emerging markets in general will recover.

We last published on Vietnam on 7 January, when
we recommended rebuilding a position in
Vietnam government bonds (VGBs) due to a
positive near-term outlook predicated on at least
one more easing measure by the State Bank of
Vietnam (SBV) and a benign near-term supply
outlook. While the SBV proceeded with monetary
easing (150bp cut in the base rate and 200bp cut
in reserve ratio) and VGB primary issuance was
scarce (we calculate less than VND2tr in total
issuance year-to-date), the main factor
underlying our previously favourable outlook
flush domestic liquidity due to sluggish bank
lending growth has reversed due to the
governments introduction of a subsidised
loan programme.
Domestic liquidity has shown signs of significant
tightening with the O/N rate at 6.50% while VGByields have retraced 100bp in recent weeks. Tight
VND liquidity has even forced the SBV to inject
liquidity in large amounts via open market
operations (OMOs) for the first time since Q3 08
(see Fig. 1).

Subsidised loan programmetightens domestic liquidity
Notwithstanding successive base rate and bank
reserve requirement cuts (see Fig. 2), domestic
liquidity has tightened significantly as a result of
the new government-subsidised loan programme.
The programme, announced on 11 February, aims
to stimulate the economy by increasing bank loans
by VND468tr (the government is targeting 2009
credit growth of 20% y-o-y, versus 21% in 2008
and 54% in 2007). Under the programmes terms,
banks have been mandated to provide subsidised
loans to borrowers at a spread of 400bp below the
maximum lending rate of 10.5%, or

approximately 6.5%1. This compares with average
system-wide bank deposit funding costs of
approximately 8%.
The loan subsidy program will negatively affect
bank profitability (as the subsidies will be
provided up-front to borrowers, but reimbursed by
the government over an 8-10mth period2) and
possibly result in an increase in non-performing
bank loans (NPLs3) due to the subsidised nature
of the loans and as some loans may be used to
refinance existing NPLs with high interest rates).
1The subsidised loan programme mandates each bank
to commit a certain amount of funds to new loans to
SMEs and exporters especially those in sensitive,
labour-intensive sectors. Many of the loans will be used
to refinance existing high-interest loans as well asconvert foreign currency debt (approximately 20% of
outstanding loans).
2Banks will be reimbursed the 4ppt-interest rate
subsidy by the government with 80% of the subsidy
amount paid on a monthly basis over a period of eight
months, with the final 20% of the subsidy to be
reimbursed by year-end (the tentative termination date
of the programme).
3
The official system NPL ratio is 3.5% by Vietnamese
accounting standards, but could be more than 3x higher
by international standards, according to Fitch
Despite this, local state-owned banks have already
responded by pledging an increased quantum of
lending. Already, local banks have lent out
VND80tr under the programme in February,
which has fully absorbed virtually all available
surplus money market liquidity. In response, the
SBV on 24 February reduced bank reserve
requirements by 100bp to 3% to free up VND10-
15tr in money market liquidity.
However,the governments objective to spur
VND300tr (a further VND220tr) in subsidised
lending by the end of 1Q09 raises major
questions as to how these additional subsidised
loans will be funded and also how the
government intends to fund its borrowing
requirement for 2009 (est. VND55tr).
In this respect, the overarching issue is how the
authorities will be able to maintain their 6.5%
GDP growth target through fiscal stimulus
measures and directed bank lending at a time
when Vietnam may suffer again from a sizable
current account deficit (HSBC house-view:
USD8.6bn or 9.6% of GDP) and a possible BoP
deficit due to a reduced rollover of short-term
foreign liabilities4.
4According to the BIS, Vietnam external liabilities as
of 3Q08 stood at USD14.5bn, of which USD6.5bn
matures by 3Q09.

Given tight domestic and external liquidity, the
authorities are faced with limited policy
options. Further reserve requirement cuts (e.g.
from 3% to 1% as recently in Malaysia) may free
up only another VND30tr of liquidity in the
system clearly insufficient to fund either the
VND468tr subsidised loan programme or
VND55tr in net government funding needs
planned for 2009. An alternative option is for the
SBV to resort to quantitative easing or a
monetisation of government borrowings, which
could however introduce upward pressure on the
USD/VND exchange rate.
Instead, as an alternative approach towards
funding the fiscal deficit, the authorities have
signalled that they are considering issuance of
onshore USD-denominated government bonds
through compulsory sales to domestic banks.
The main motivation for the issuance of these
USD bonds is to lower government borrowingcosts by offering competitive yields relative to
local USD bank deposit rates (currently offered
around 2%). By comparison, VGB yields
currently range from 9.10-9.70% (1-15yr, bid),
while the Vietnam 2016 sovereign yields
approximately 9-10%. Moreover, the issuance of
dollar-denominated government bonds would also
help beef up SBVs FX reserves (which stood at
USD22bn in early February according to SBV
Governor Giau) through the transfer of FXliquidity from the banking system to SBV. USD
bond issuance might also help reduce dollarisation
in the economy. Given the governments
VND55tr in funding requirements, at least USD2-
3bn of USD bond issuance would be required to
make a serious contribution to the governments
funding needs and to SBVs FX reserves position,
in our opinion.
However, the major drawback of the USD bond
issuance plan is that it could contribute to a
further drying up of domestic USD liquidity,
unless this FX liquidity is channelled back by
SBV through FX interventions. According to BIS
data as of Sep-2008, private short-term foreign
liabilities totalled USD6.5bn versus USD5.9bn in
private sector foreign assets. As these short-term
foreign liabilities are to BIS-reporting banks, they
may not include private sector foreign currency
deposits held locally.
Implications for the VND
money market and VGBsTightening domestic liquidity has already been
reflected in a rise in the O/N rate to 6.50%
while VGB yields have retraced 100bp trough-
to-current (see Fig. 3) with the 2yr and 5yr
VGBs at 9.20% and 9.40% (bid), respectively.

Insofar as the subsidised loan programme
proceeds as planned (i.e. without relaxation of the
VND468tr lending target), there are few signs
that domestic liquidity will be sufficient to
absorb VND55tr in VGB net issuance.
Importantly, banks pledged commitments under
the subsidised loan programme may require some
offloading of VGB holdings in order to raise
funds to lend to borrowers. Our data on maturing
bond redemptions and coupon payments also
show little in the way of reinvestment flows
through the remainder of H1 09 (see Fig. 4) to
help absorb upcoming VGB issuance.

In addition to onshore banks limited capacity to
absorb VGBs, government supply projections
are also subject to upward revision. For
instance, recent official statements point to
revenue shortfalls (as much as VND90tr due to
optimistic growth and export assumptions5) and
the risk of higher budget deficits will continue to
place pressure on 2009 funding requirements,
which are likely to exceed the original budget
plan (see Fig. 5). Already, on 3 March, the
National Assembly approved an increase in net
issuance from VND43tr to VND55tr, which could
raise outstanding local government bond supply
by about 25%. Although the compulsory sale of
dollar bonds being considered by the government
would invariably decrease the proportion that
would be financed through VGBs, this amount
still excludes planned issuance by VietnamDevelopment Bank (VDB) and Ho Chi Minh City
Investment Fund (HIFU) to the tune of VND30tr
and VND20tr, respectively.

Bottom line: Sell VGBs, target10-11% yields near term
Given this backdrop, the outlook for VGBs has
deteriorated markedly in recent weeks. Policy
uncertainties emanate from whether the
government will allow the subsidised lending
programme to proceed as planned in the process
reducing demand for VGBs or whether credit
growth targets and lending requirements will be
relaxed in light of a higher government bond
issuance schedule.
It is possible that the government may scale back
its ambitious loan programme, but the initial
impact (VND80tr in new loans just since mid-
February) has already withdrawn liquidity from
the banking system. Rising NPL ratios as well as
lower scope and flexibility for further SBV easing
is unlikely to breathe life into the market in the
same way as flush liquidity conditions did in4Q08.

Aside from tightening domestic liquidity, SBVs
subsidised loan program will put upward pressure
on VGB yields and may also lead to upward
pressure on USD-VND if accompanied by large
scale issuance of USD-denominated bonds or
major liquidity injections by SBV.
Against this uncertain backdrop, we recommend
reducing exposure to VGBs until there is more
clarity about the authorities policy direction. In
the meantime, we revise our VGB yieldforecasts upwards to 10.00-11.00% within the
next 2-3 monthsto take into account the outlook
for tighter money market liquidity and increased
VGB issuance, with the caveat that the rise in
VGB yields may be tempered in the event of
major liquidity injections by SBV in order to cap
any further rises in the O/N rate and/or to
monetise government borrowings.

Since we last published in these pages, the USD-
VND market has seen some of the least eventful
weeks in recent years. The official midpoint has
remained stable around 16,975, official USD-
VND spot has remained steady at the ceiling
around 17,484, while the NDF fixings have
remained in slight premium on average about 100
VND above the band (Chart 1).
Indeed, the fundamentals have become less hostile
to VND in the last few weeks. Notably, Vietnam
posted a monthly trade surplus of USD390m in
January, the first such monthly trade surplus in
three years. Given the lunar new year-related
volatility, as well as uncertainty between falling
imported intermediate goods and the potential
similarly sized though lagged fall in exports, it
would be very premature to draw conclusions that
Vietnam has shifted into structural surpluses.
However, it is still safe to assume that the large
falls in the consumption and investment related
imported goods categories (e.g. automobiles,
steel, cement) driven by a sharp slowdown in
domestic demand, will help reduce USD demand
in the coming months.
The other improvement in the backdrop for VND
is that the foreign portfolio liquidation process
appears to be coming to an end. Foreign equity
flows have been minimal for several months now,
and while aggregate data is unavailable, anecdotal
evidence suggests that foreign bond liquidation is
basically completed. Together with a sharp
slowdown in FDI flows, FX regime management

by the SBV should become more familiar, as
conditions have reverted closer to pre-WTO
accession conditions where trade flows, rather
than investment flows, are the predominant source
of FX activity.
However, in the near term, we are somewhat
concerned about the as-yet unclear plans to offer
USD-denominated treasury bonds to the onshore
market. This is discussed in more detail in the
preceding fixed income section. For the FXmarket, the impact appears pretty clear this will
absorb USD from the private sector and from the
financial system. The impact on net USD-VND
demand will be mitigated to the extent that the
USD proceeds are recycled into the market, either
through SOE on-lending (to fund SOE imports, or
to roll over USD debt), or sold by the government
back into the market to fund local spending. Still,
the risk is that such a move creates unexpected
volatility in USD supply that feeds into the FX.
More broadly, we continue to expect, going
forward, that the SBV should manage a gradual
depreciation. Despite some improvement on the
trade balance, we still believe fundamentals
support a weaker currency. For one, especially
with the considerable weakening of peer
currencies in Asia, as well as inflation which
remains in the double-digits, the VND is now very
expensive. Despite the recent nominal
depreciation against the USD, in real effective
terms (Chart 2) the VND remains about 23%
above its long-run REER average and close to its
historical extremes.
We also expect capital inflows, both on direct and
portfolio flows, to remain feeble through the next
several quarters, at least until global financial
markets recover and the global economy troughs.
Finally, the SBV would likely take the opportunity
to rebuild its FX reserves, if it can manage to
weaken the VND in line with the region while
maintaining overall FX market stability.

Important disclosuresStock ratings and basis for financial analysis
HSBC believes that investors utilise various disciplines and investment horizons when making investment decisions, which
depend largely on individual circumstances such as the investor's existing holdings, risk tolerance and other considerations.
Given these differences, HSBC has two principal aims in its equity research: 1) to identify long-term investment opportunities
based on particular themes or ideas that may affect the future earnings or cash flows of companies on a 12 month time horizon;
and 2) from time to time to identify short-term investment opportunities that are derived from fundamental, quantitative,
technical or event-driven techniques on a 0-3 month time horizon and which may differ from our long-term investment rating.
HSBC has assigned ratings for its long-term investment opportunities as described below.
This report addresses only the long-term investment opportunities of the companies referred to in the report. As and when
HSBC publishes a short-term trading idea the stocks to which these relate are identified on the website at
www.hsbcnet.com/research. Details of these short-term investment opportunities can be found under the Reports section of thiswebsite.
HSBC believes an investor's decision to buy or sell a stock should depend on individual circumstances such as the investor's
existing holdings and other considerations. Different securities firms use a variety of ratings terms as well as different rating
systems to describe their recommendations. Investors should carefully read the definitions of the ratings used in each research
report. In addition, because research reports contain more complete information concerning the analysts' views, investors
should carefully read the entire research report and should not infer its contents from the rating. In any case, ratings should not
be used or relied on in isolation as investment advice.
Rating definitions for long-term investment opportunities
Stock ratings
HSBC assigns ratings to its stocks in this sector on the following basis:
For each stock we set a required rate of return calculated from the risk free rate for that stock's domestic, or as appropriate,
regional market and the relevant equity risk premium established by our strategy team. The price target for a stock represents
the value the analyst expects the stock to reach over our performance horizon. The performance horizon is 12 months. For a
stock to be classified as Overweight, the implied return must exceed the required return by at least 5 percentage points over the
next 12 months (or 10 percentage points for a stock classified as Volatile*). For a stock to be classified as Underweight, the
stock must be expected to underperform its required return by at least 5 percentage points over the next 12 months (or 10
percentage points for a stock classified as Volatile*). Stocks between these bands are classified as Neutral.
Our ratings are re-calibrated against these bands at the time of any 'material change' (initiation of coverage, change of volatility
status or change in price target). Notwithstanding this, and although ratings are subject to ongoing management review,
expected returns will be permitted to move outside the bands as a result of normal share price fluctuations without necessarily
triggering a rating change.
*A stock will be classified as volatile if its historical volatility has exceeded 40%, if the stock has been listed for less than 12
months (unless it is in an industry or sector where volatility is low) or if the analyst expects significant volatility. However,

stocks which we do not consider volatile may in fact also behave in such a way. Historical volatility is defined as the pastmonth's average of the daily 365-day moving average volatilities. In order to avoid misleadingly frequent changes in rating,
however, volatility has to move 2.5 percentage points past the 40% benchmark in either direction for a stock's status to change.
Prior to this, from 7 June 2005 HSBC applied a ratings structure which ranked the stocks according to their notional target
price vs current market price and then categorised (approximately) the top 40% as Overweight, the next 40% as Neutral and
the last 20% as Underweight. The performance horizon is 2 years. The notional target price was defined as the mid-point of the
analysts' valuation for a stock.
From 15 November 2004 to 7 June 2005, HSBC carried no ratings and concentrated on long-term thematic reports which
identified themes and trends in industries, but did not make a conclusion as to the investment action that potential investors
should take.
Prior to 15 November 2004, HSBC's ratings system was based upon a two-stage recommendation structure: a combination ofthe analysts' view on the stock relative to its sector and the sector call relative to the market, together giving a view on the
stock relative to the market. The sector call was the responsibility of the strategy team, set in co-operation with the analysts.
For other companies, HSBC showed a recommendation relative to the market. The performance horizon was 6-12 months. The
target price was the level the stock should have traded at if the market accepted the analysts' view of the stock.
Rating distribution for long-term investment opportunities
As of 04 March 2009, the distribution of all ratings published is as follows:
Overweight (Buy) 39% (30% of these provided with Investment Banking Services)
Neutral (Hold) 38% (31% of these provided with Investment Banking Services)
Underweight (Sell) 23% (24% of these provided with Investment Banking Services)
