The Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange (HOSE) and Dau tu Chung
Khoan (Securities Investment) magazine launched a contest on Nov. 19
for the best annual report made by companies listed on its exchange as
well as at the Hanoi Securities Trading Centre.


The first Annual Report Contest was organised in February for 2007 reports, open only to firms listed on the HOSE.


Le Nhi Nang, HOSE deputy general director, said the
contest looked to promote transparency, professionalism, and creativity
in reporting corporate performance and improving investors’ access to
information.


Dominic Scriven, managing director for Dragon Capital,
the sole sponsor for the contest, suggested reports with an analysis of
impacts on the environment would gain significant advantage.


Prizes will be awarded at a ceremony on June 26
