Currently, the price of construction steel from plants is around VND10-12 million per tonne.
Meanwhile according to steel businesses, if the export tax on Chinese steel ingots increases by 10 percent and the Vietnamese import tax remains at 2 percent as at present, the price of imported steel ingots will surpass US$650 per tonne and the price of domestic steel will be more than VND13 million per tonne. Therefore, the price of steel on the domestic market is expected to rise.
