Currently, the country has 61 cement factories with a total capacity of about 117 million tons of cement per year. Vietnam's cement output currently ranks third in the world, after China and India. However, the domestic cement industry is facing many difficulties due to large oversupply, both domestic consumption and export are very slow and decreasing sharply. To reduce difficulties for businesses, the Vietnam Cement Association has proposed that the State Bank consider extending debt and reducing interest rates for businesses. At the same time, priority should be given to cement businesses to borrow working capital and foreign investors should not be encouraged to invest in cement projects in Vietnam. The Vietnam Cement Association also proposed that the Ministry of Finance report to the Government to soon submit to the National Assembly for approval the abolition of export tax on clinker.
