The economy is recovering, along with the orientation to develop Vietnam's energy industry in the direction of renewable energy will be an opportunity for businesses to make a breakthrough. However, at present, the quiet deposit mobilization channel along with high debt has increased the cost burden. The reference price of BCG on 22/07/2022 is 14,950 which is much lower than the target price, so SBS evaluates BCG as Attractive.
