After nearly 4 months of negotiation, the US agreed to reduce Vietnam tariff from 46% to a much more favourable rate of 20% which is in line with most ASEAN countries. The main concern is now a 40% tariff on transhipped goods which the US government has not clearly defined. Despite uncertainty from the US tariff, SIP is on track with its leasing plan with 26.7 ha leased in 1H2025, completing 59% of its target and 76% of our previous forecast.
In the 2025-2028 period, we project flat IP leasing prices compared to the 2024 levels, instead of an annual growth of 0–3% in the previous forecast.
