Gemadept says 2008 profit to jump 50 pct

Vietnam's top forwarder Gemadept Corp (GMD) forecast its profit next year would jump 50 percent from this year as it puts an office building, a port and a warehouse into operation.

"Even if we cannot increase our current business, next year we will have, maybe, a 50-percent profit increase compared to 2007," Gemadept CEO Do Van Minh told Reuters in an interview on Monday at the company's Ho Chi Minh City headquarters.

Minh did not say if the forecast profit was pre-tax or net, but Gemadept has projected an increase in net profit this year of 25 percent to 30 percent from last year's net 156 billion dong ($9.7 million).
