BIDV research team proposes national mortgage company
BIDV research team proposes national mortgage companyHong Phuc By Hong Phuc - The Saigon Times Daily HCMC – A national mortgage company, if established, would help settle the high volume of unsold property products, develop a housing market for low-income earners and solve the problem of medium and long-term capital for the real estate market. This is the suggestion of experts from the research center of Bank for Investment and Development of Vietnam (BIDV). As per a report of the research team, the mortgage company can mobilize ODA capital and issue government-guaranteed bonds in a bid to buy home loans with terms of up to tens of years from financial institutions in the primary mortgage market.

Russian government to sell more shares in leading companies
The Russian government was expected to approve a broad privatization plan within the next two months, First Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov said on Monday. "We are going to draft a timetable (of the privatization) with (Prime Minister) Vladimir Putin during the coming six to eight weeks," Shuvalov said. He noted that the privatization plan is broader than what President Dmitry Medvedev ordered in last June. Among the enterprises the government plans to sell out, Shuvalov mentioned commercial shipping company Sovkomflot, Novorossiysk Sea Port, Sberbank and VTB Bank and Moscow's major airports of Sheremetyevo and Vnukovo. "All these projects should be started in 2012," he said.

By 2017, the government plans to sell completely or dramatically decrease its shares in "national flagships" … [Read more...] about Russian government to sell more shares in leading companies

World’s top national theaters to perform in Korea
The National Theater of Korea, the first of its kind in Asia when it was established in 1950, has been staging a wide variety of affordable performing arts pieces to the public for over half a century. Last year, it tried something broader.It hosted the world's one and only festival dedicated to stepping up cultural exchanges between the national theaters of different countries to provide the audience with opportunities to experience the unique cultures and trends in the international arts scene by inviting representative performers from several national organizations. At the same time, it promoted prominent Korean performing arts troupes to the world's top theaters. The festival focuses on bringing already well-known productions that are universally popular, rather than focusing on inviting new and sometimes unconventional performances. The outcome of last year's festival was more than satisfactory, with more than 30,000 audience members having seen one of the 14 performances … [Read more...] about World’s top national theaters to perform in Korea
