According to the latest information from Ho Chi Minh City Social Insurance, as of April 30, 2024, Trung Nam Construction Investment Joint Stock Company (Trung Nam Group) owes four months’ worth of insurance for its employees.
Notably, the Khanh Hoa Customs Department recently sent a notice to the Exit and Entry Management Department – Ministry of Public Security, requesting a temporary suspension of exit for Mr. Nguyen Tam Thinh, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Trung Nam Group.
This is due to the company’s overdue debt of over VND 21 billion at the Ninh Thuan Customs Branch – Khanh Hoa Customs Department, for which the company is currently subject to coercive measures by the customs authority, including the suspension of customs procedures for imported and exported goods.
Established in 2004, Trung Nam Group is a diversified conglomerate with a focus on two key sectors: energy and real estate. The group is led by two entrepreneurs, Mr. Nguyen Tam Thinh (1973), Chairman of the Board, and Mr. Nguyen Tam Tien (1967), General Director.
