Decree No.116 and Circular No. 03/2018/TT-BGTVT are aimed at limiting the number of imported cars by requiring the buyer to have a copy of the Vehicle Type Approval (VTA) certificates, which seems not to exist in many countries. In the first two months of 2018, the number of Completely Build-Up (CBU) imports contracted by 96%.

Vietnam insurance market continues to record a double digit growth above 20% in 2017. This is the evidence showing that insurance sector benefits from economic growth fostering by strong investment in infrastructure and personal consumption.

In 2017, non-life insurance shares witnessed little positive movement while investors shifted their focus on life insurance share BVH. The fact that life segment surpassed the non-life one in terms of preimium growth in 2017 can partially explain this practice. Moreover, after growing hot in two previous years and facing a challening year 2017 with many natural disaters, shares on non-life insurers were not very attractive.

US President Donald Trump's was able, his first political victory, on 1st December 2017 to announce the reduction of the corporate income tax from 35% to 20%. In order to offset the losses of an estimated USD 1.4 trillion  over the next 10 years, Trump goes on to impose taxes on imports of washing machines and solar panels.

On 1st March 2018, Trump announced the imposition of a tariff of 25% on imported steel and 10% on aluminum. The US also threatened to increase the tax on car imports from the EU.

Concerned about a potential global trade war, we argue on the impact of Trump's new tax law in two ways: (1) investment and (2) exchange rate
