Recently, Sun Group - one of the largest private corporations in Vietnam - proposed that Ho Chi Minh City build a traffic route along the Saigon River with 8-10 lanes.
Chairman of Sun Group Board of Directors - Mr. Dang Minh Truong
Sun Group Corporation has submitted a document with comments on the idea for the Project to adjust the general planning of Ho Chi Minh City to 2040, with a vision to 2060, in which it proposes to build a road along the Saigon River from Cu Chi to Can Gio Bridge, 78.2km long, with 8-10 lanes, instead of only 3-4 lanes.
A representative of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Planning and Investment said that they have worked with Sun Group to provide guidance on the legal basis of the project proposed by this investor.
Sun Group is known as one of the largest private economic groups in Vietnam, operating in many fields such as resort tourism, entertainment, real estate and infrastructure investment.
How is Sun Group doing business?
According to Sun Group's financial report, the group's equity reached VND12,532 billion at the end of June 2024, an increase of VND140 billion over the same period last year. The group's liabilities were approximately VND19,000 billion.
Regarding business results, Sun Group's after-tax profit in the first half of 2024 reached more than VND 283 billion, down 13% over the same period last year.
Last year, the report revealed that the company's after-tax profit reached VND532 billion, down 68% compared to VND1,694 billion in 2022.
On its website, Sun Group introduced itself as being founded in 1998 in Ukraine. In 2007, the company's leaders returned to Vietnam and established Ba Na Cable Car Service Joint Stock Company (Banacab).
Over the years, Banacab has been one of the member units that has made important contributions to the overall picture of the group.
This is the investor of the Ba Na - Suoi Mo Eco-tourism Complex project (Da Nang) with the highlight being the cable car line recognized as the longest in the world.
Regarding this complex, last year Da Nang issued an adjusted investment registration certificate for the project in Ba Na Hills. This is a dynamic project, with a total investment adjusted to 39,000 billion VND.
The financial report shows that Ba Na Hills' subjective after-tax profit reached nearly 419 billion VND in the first half of this year, down 7% over the same period.
Business results have been more positive than in recent years, Banacab's equity also increased to VND 9,727 billion at the end of June 2024, an increase of nearly 9% compared to the previous period, but 4.5 times higher than in 2017.
Meanwhile, debt payable at the end of June decreased compared to the same period, to below 16,000 billion VND.
Looking back at Banacab's business data, it can be seen that this Sun Group company has had a breakthrough in profits since 2021 compared to before the pandemic.

In addition to Da Nang, Sun Group, through its member units, is present in many famous tourist areas in Vietnam such as Quang Ninh, Cat Ba - Hai Phong, Phu Quoc...
In Phu Quoc, Sun Group has made its mark in many areas from resorts, commerce, housing and high-end entertainment.
The report shows that Phu Quoc Sun Company Limited's after-tax profit reached VND825 billion, compared to a loss of VND318 billion in the first half of this year and a loss of VND10,094 billion in the same period last year. By the end of June, equity had increased to VND10,094 billion.

In Quang Ninh, the Sun World Ha Long entertainment and tourism complex is a project of Sun Group directly managed by Ha Long Sun Company Limited.
Regarding business performance, Ha Long Sun lost 294 billion VND in the first half of this year, down from negative 331 billion VND in the same period last year. For the whole year of 2023, thanks to a more positive second half, the company reported a profit of more than 27 billion VND, although not a loss, it still plummeted compared to the profit of more than 1,300 billion VND achieved in 2022.
Looking back at the business results from 2020 to present of Ha Long Sun, we can see the "up - down" fluctuations with quite high amplitude.
