In 2022, bet365ee is expected to invest in Cam Lam – Vinh Hao expressways, Trung Luong – My Thuan highways, Dong Dang – Tra Linh highways… as well as a number of other real estate projects through multi forms such as direct investment capital contribution, business cooperation, share transfer, etc. Total investment capital is expected to be nearly 4,000 billion VND.

These projects have the characteristic that the total investment is very large (from a few thousand to tens of thousands of billion VND), in which equity usually only accounts for about 20% of the total investment, the rest is other mobilized capital, including loans.
With equity accounting for 30% of outstanding debt, bet365ee ’s financial capacity is very good. For bet365ee ’s long-term loans from credit institutions to invest in BOT projects, the loan repayment period has been calculated to match the project’s revenue. Currently, all investment projects have been put into operation, generating stable income, so bet365ee ’s ability to pay due loans is guaranteed. Projects built by enterprises with the investment of Vietnam Joint Stock Commercial Bank for Industry and Trade (VietinBank), Viet A Commercial Joint Stock Bank (VietABank) have been completed and put into operation with stable revenue.
The strength that led to the success of bet365ee was the way to organize and manage the implementation of scientific projects, modern construction technology equipment, a team of experienced and enthusiastic experts – engineers… Therefore, most investment projects of enterprises always reduced the total investment, exceed the progress, ensure quality, and ensure investment efficiency. Many works of bet365ee have been recognized and honored by the State Council for Acceptance of Construction Works (Ministry of Construction) and honored as national typical works on the occasion of the anniversary of the establishment of Vietnam’s construction industry.
