4 Q4 216 ECONOMIC OVERVIEW VIETNAM GDP Vietnam s GDP was estimated to grow by 6.2% in 216, driven mostly by industrial expansion and growth in construction and services. This year recorded a decrease in the country s economic growth rate compared to the growth of 6.68% in 215. The service sector grew by 7.57% y-o-y while the industrial and construction increased by 6.98% y-o-y. The whole year witnessed a big slowdown in agriculture-forestry-fishing with a modest growth rate of 1.36% y-o-y mainly due to natural disasters. Although 216 s GDP was below the 6.7% target set by the National Assembly, the country remained one of the strongest performers in the region. We expect next year s GDP to remain on a positive trajectory with our full year forecast standing at 6.5% on the back of increasing global integration and local production recovery. CPI The last month of 216 saw a slight increase of.73% m-o-m in CPI index, despite purchasing needs at the year end. For the whole year, average CPI rose by 2.7% y-o-y. Six out of eleven major goods and service groups saw price rises with the highest growth recorded in medicine and healthcare services, at 5.3%. Main reasons for the CPI hike in 216 were determined to be the government s upward price adjustment of healthcare services and natural disasters effects on crops. With the target CPI of 4% set by National Assembly, price adjustment methods should be implemented for key commodity groups such as healthcare services, electricity and water, as well as a close supervision process should be kept on the world oil price to prevent the domestic price from shooting up. FDI As of the end of 216, the country attracted 2,556 new foreign investment projects with total investment of both newly registered and supplementary capital reaching USD24.37 billion, representing an increase of 7.1% y-o-y in capital. Of the total, there are 1,225 already-operating projects raising their capital by more than USD5.7 billion. Investment in real estate accounted for 1.1%, which is equivalent to USD1.52 billion. South Korea was the largest foreign investor with USD5.5 billion, accounting for 36.6% of total capital, followed by Singapore and China with USD1.59 billion and USD1.26 billion, respectively. RETAIL SALES Vietnam s retail sales of goods and services reached USD156 billion, up 1.2% y-o-y. If the price factor was excluded, the growth rate would be 7.8% y-o-y, lower than the increase of 8.5% y-o-y in 215. By sector, retail sales of goods achieved USD118.4 billion, accounting for 75.9% of total sales, up 1.2% y-o-y. Retail sales of accommodation and catering services reached USD18.3 billion, accounting for 11.3% of total sales, representing an increase of 1.7% y-o-y. Retail sales of tourism services, comprising 1% of total sales, reached USD 1.5 billion, up 12% y-o-y. Retail sales of other services, accounting for 11.4% of total sales, were estimated at USD17.8 billion, equivalent to 9.3% increase y-o-y. INTERNATIONAL ARRIVALS In 216, Vietnam welcomed 1.1 million international visitors, equivalent to a significant increase of 26% y-o-y. Thanks to visa exemption policy for citizens from five European countries and various tourism marketing strategies, this is the first time the country attracted such a high number of international tourists, a twofold increase compared to the number of 21. Asian visitors took the lead with more than 7.2 million arrivals, mainly from traditional markets such as China, South Korea and Japan, comprising 72.5% of total visitors, followed by European visitors with 1.6 million arrivals and American tourists with.7 million arrivals, respectively. TRADE BALANCE In 216, Vietnam earned roughly USD175.9 billion from exports, reporting an increase of 8.6% y-o-y. Import turnovers reached USD173.3 billion, up 4.6% against the previous year. As a result, the whole country registered a USD2.6 billion trade surplus. Of the total, the domestic economic sector reported a trade deficit of USD21.2 billion with USD5 billion in exports and USD71.1 billion in imports. On the contrary, the FDI sector enjoyed a trade surplus of USD23.7 with export revenues of USD125.9 and import revenues of USD12.1. While the United States took the lead in export revenues with USD38.1 billion, China remained the country s largest import market with USD49.8 billion. By product, phones and phone parts, electronic goods, textile and garments, computers, machinery and equipment are the major foreign currency earners.

6 Q4 216 HO CHI MINH CITY OFFICE PERFORMANCE Q4 216 witnessed an increase of 3.1% q-o-q in the average asking rent across all grades, recording at USD32.5/sqm/month. The market remained tight with average occupancy rate of 95.9%, marginally down.45ppts q-o-q but up slightly.4 ppts y-o-y. By segment, average rent for Grade A space was up 1.7% q-o-q, staying at USD41.1/sqm/month whilst Grade B s rental rates were up 5.7% q-o-q, at USD23.8/sqm/month. On a yearly basis, both Grade A and Grade B experienced significant rent growth of 14.2% and 13.6% respectively due to high demand and limited prime office space in 216. While Grade A s occupancy rate was slightly down 1ppt q-o-q but up 1ppt y-o-y to 95%, Grade B s occupancy stayed unchanged at 97% compared to both the previous quarter and the same period last year. Figure 5: Office, Average Asking Rent US$/sqm/month Grade A Grade B Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q SUPPLY The last quarter of 216 welcomed 33,84sqm NLA from the opening of Mapletree Business Centre and Ha Do Building, recording an increase of 12.8% in the newly launched stock compared to the same quarter last year. Currently, the city has a total of 11 Grade A buildings and 63 Grade B buildings, covering approximately 212,651sqm and 896,624sqm of net leasable space to the market respectively. By location, all Grade A and nearly 5% of Grade B are concentrated in the Central Business District (CBD). Clusters of Grade B buildings are also located in District 3, Tan Binh District and Phu My Hung New Urban Area in District 7. Figure 6: Office, Occupancy Rate Grade A % 7 Grade B DEMAND Tertiary industry is one of the key drivers of demand for office space as service sector businesses tend to be more labor intensive and less capital intensive. Indeed, by looking more closely at components of the city GDP over the past 6 years ( ), we find that there is a strong relationship between the service industry s contribution to the city s economy and the average occupancy rate with relative high correlation coefficient of.7. With HCMC government s plans to develop a service-led economy, targeting to increase the service sector by 1.17%-11% in the period of , the relationship between the service sector s expansion and the demand for office space is more likely to continue in the coming years. OUTLOOK Given the current construction status, it is expected that there will be 62,3sqm of new Grade A and 124,392sqm of new Grade B office space coming on line in 217. Up to 71,122sqm of such space will be located outside the CBD while 115,57sqm will be located within the CBD. Mature buildings in prime locations are forecasted to maintain good performance as the amount of new office space in the pipeline is limited and demand for high-quality office space in good locations continues. In contrast, office buildings in decentralized districts will face more pressure as the ample supply, raising concerns of falling rents and increased incentives. Furthermore, Novaland s purchase of Continental Tower and the transfer of ownership for Metropolitan building are expected to put further pressure on the city s market in the coming years. 6 5 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q Table 2: Office, Future Supply Project name Grade NLA (sqm) Expected Completion Viettel Complex B 26,32 Q1 217 Waterfront Saigon B 8,822 Q1 217 Deutsches Haus A 22,3 Q3 217 Saigon Center phase 2 A 4, Q3 217 Thaco-Sala Residence B 78, Q3 217 The Khai B 11,25 Q Colliers International Research Page 6

9 Q4 216 HO CHI MINH CITY RETAIL PERFORMANCE The year 216 recorded a significant rental growth of 12% y-o-y across the market. Being a hot spot for new international brands, the CBD remained its high average asking rents thanks to limited supply. New supply during the year stabilized rental rates of suburban districts. Improvement was seen in occupancy rate, up 2% y-o-y thanks to effective leasing strategies and stronger demand for retail space in the city. SUPPLY The last quarter of 216 welcomed the opening of Golden Plaza, adding approximately 15,sqm to the existing retail stock.

In 216, the total value was USD3.1 billion, increasing by 9.1% compared to the same period last year, indicating a significant improvement in local buying power. The continued strong retail sales growth implies expanding demand for retail space in the city in the coming years.

There is currently approximately 3,sqm GFA of retail space under construction that will open for business in 217.

11 Q4 216 HO CHI MINH CITY CONDOMINIUM Table PERFORMANCE 3: Significant Office Projects Market sentiment was improved in the last quarter of the year with nearly 12, successful transactions, up 55% compared to the previous quarter. The whole year witnessed a drop of 4% y-o-y in the number of sold units as competition was more intense by new entrants. Long-term market fundamentals remained positive with increasing genuine home buyers who can afford their own property thanks to rising income and supporting finance conditions. On the primary market, price appreciation was modest at 4% y-o-y as developers were more cautious in their pricing strategies in the midst of increasing new launches. Looking forward to 217, sale price is forecasted to move upward, ranging from 3%-7%, depending on each market segment. SUPPLY The year 216 witnessed a decline of 11% y-o-y in total new launches, prompting the market was cooling down from 215 boom. While mid-end segment still dominated new launches, high-end segment reduced their market shares by 13% y-o-y as developers began to shift their attention to lower-end market. Robust infrastructure development and large land bank in the east and south of the city are supporting market momentum in these two areas. It is expected that the trend will be ongoing on the back of the city s master plan toward 22. DEMAND Considered as potential target customers, the employed population, especially those with stable income, will support housing purchases. It was estimated that the labour force in Ho Chi Minh City reached 4.1 million people in 215, making up more than 5% of the total population.

15 Q4 216 HO CHI MINH CITY SERVICED APARTMENT PERFORMANCE In the last quarter of 216, the average net asking rent across both Grades recorded at USD33.9/sqm/month, up 2.6% q-o-q and 9.8% y-o-y. While Grade A saw a slight drop of 2% q-o-q in asking rent, staying at USD37.9/sqm/month, Grade B s rent experienced a remarkable growth of 9% compared to the previous quarter, achieving USD29.9/sqm/month mainly due to the opening of a serviced apartment in District 3. By location, the CBD continued to record the highest average rent due to good location in conjunction with sufficient amenities and facilities. The city s serviced apartment market remained healthy with relatively high occupancy rate, at 91%, marginally down 1ppt both on a quarterly and yearly basis. SUPPLY Currently, there are 37 serviced apartments of all grades providing about 3,335 units in HCMC, mainly in District 1, District 3 and District 7. The market s only new supply last quarter was the Oakwood Apartments HCMC located in District 3, expanding the total stock by 2% q-o-q. Developed by Sonkim Land, the property provides 68 units with the interior inspired from Saigonese architecture in the period of 195s-197s. In terms of location, the CBD continued to be the most favored destination, contributing 44% of total supply. Serviced apartment developments are also clustered in District 3 and District 7 thanks to their convenient locations and availability of services targeting foreigners. DEMAND Several years ago, serviced apartment used to be seen as a narrowed market segment targeting only expatriates. However, the segment has been expanded due to rising demand from Vietnamese tenants who want to enjoy the flexibility, privacy and independence offered by serviced apartments. Demand for serviced apartments is also being pushed upward as an increasingly mobile workforce drives business travel and relocation activity. It is expected that the positive economic outlook, coupled with an increasing number of expatriates coming to Vietnam promise higher demand for serviced apartments in the coming periods. OUTLOOK By the end of 217, there will be some 987 units from four projects coming online. One project is located in the CBD while the other three are in decentralized districts. As the fierce competition between serviced apartments and buy-to-let apartments in the city, rental prices across two grades of the market are forecasted to soften. Limited future supply will allow the sector to continue to enjoy high occupancy in the coming years.

17 Q4 216 HO CHI MINH CITY INDUSTRIAL PERFORMANCE Rents remained relatively stable on quarterly basis but fluctuated on yearly basis. More specifically, the average asking rent stayed at USD138.3/sqm/term, recording a nominal increase of.2% compared to the previous quarter but a significant growth of 15% compared to the same period last year. The increase was mainly due to higher asking rent of some IPs. Since no new IP entered the market in the last quarter of 216, the average Land Use Right term was 35.8 years, unchanged q-o-q. The average occupancy rate was 67.5%, down 2.5 ppts q-o-q but up.5 ppts y-o-y. There are eight fully occupied IPs out of 19 existing IPs. Cu Chi district remained its lowest average occupancy rate of 42.3%, whilst 5 districts were reported to have occupancy rates of 1%, namely District 9, 12, 2, Tan Phu and Thu Duc districts. For a minimum leasable area from 1,-5,sqm, ready-built factories charge USD2.5 USD4./ sqm/month (excluding VAT and service charge). SUPPLY The existing stock was unchanged compared to the previous quarter with 19 operating IPs, covering a total area of nearly 3,94 hectares. The leasable area is estimated to be 71% of total land area with nearly 2,8 hectares. Binh Chanh district remained the largest supplier with 77 hectares, accounting for more than 26% of the market share, followed by Cu Chi and Thu Duc districts. Le Minh Xuan (phase 2 and 3), Vinh Loc I (phase 2 and 3), Vinh Loc III, Phong Phu in Binh Chanh, Tay Bac Cu Chi (phase 2) in Cu Chi, Hiep Phuoc (phase 2) in Nha Be are some IPs that are under construction and expected to coming on stream in the coming years. DEMAND The fact that TPP ratification was deferred after the US presidential election won by Republican Donald Trump has raised concerns about foreign investment into Vietnam. Obviously, the lack of TPP will negatively affect some future investment, particularly in export and manufacturing industries. However, it is believed that foreign inflows will continue to be strong. Firstly, the country s macro-economics are stable with average annual growth rate 6%. Secondly, the government offers favorable policies that would help to attract more investments from foreign investors. Thirdly, labor costs are expected to be low, about half of China s and not likely to fluctuate in the short or medium term. As a result, demand for industrial space is expected to rise in the near future. OUTLOOK The future pipeline will expand with approximately 2,8 hectares from 8 new IPs entering the market in the coming years, up approximately 6% from the current stock. There is a fact that development of previous industrial zones in Ho Chi Minh City did not take into consideration high speed of urbanization, and thus contributing to bad traffic situation of the City. Demand for transportation facilities between factories/ enterprises in IPs and ports/airports are forecasted to increase in conjunction with rising demand for industrial properties. Therefore, the City government is now planning a number of new transportation projects to improve the city s infrastructure, making Ho Chi Minh City s industrial market more attractive to international firms.
