HCM CITY — Shareholders in the Transport and Industry Development Investment Joint Stock Company (TRACODI) approved this year’s business targets at the company’s annual general meeting in HCM City yesterday.

The company expects to achieve after-tax profits of VNĐ77.1 billion (US$3.38 million) and revenue of VNĐ1.15 trillion ($50.4 million), up 3 per cent and 5 per cent respectively.

Nguyễn Hồ Nam, the company’s chairman, said manufactured and agricultural products were expected to account for the largest share of sales at around VNĐ450 billion, followed by infrastructure development and real estate with VNĐ390 billion.

Mining was expected to contribute VNĐ300 billion, while the rest would come from labour exports and training, he said.

The targets are based on the impressive results achieved last year, when profit and revenue reached VNĐ74.95 billion and VNĐ1.095 trillion, up 24 per cent and 32 per cent from 2016.

General director Nguyễn Thanh Hùng said the company would focus on its core business activities: trading in manufactured and agricultural products, infrastructure construction, real estate, mining and labour exports.

In terms of infrastructure construction, it would focus on the BT 830C project and social housing in Long An Province, solar power and property projects under parent company Bamboo Capital, he said.

Shareholders also approved several other proposals, including paying a 10 per cent dividend for 2017 in shares and a 10-12 per cent cash dividend for this year.

Bamboo Capital owns a 50.61 per cent stake in the company. — VNS
