Total consolidated revenue was estimated at 123 trillion VND, surpassing the whole-year goal by 1 percent, but the achievement was 35 percent lower than the 2019 revenue. The company contributed 38.5 trillion VND to the State budget in 2020. In 2021, the group will implement its divestment plan and reduce the State's ownership.
