Vietnam-based steel producer Hoa Phat Group has announced its financial and operational results for the third quarter and the first nine months of the current year.
For the third quarter this year, the company has reported a revenue of VND 34 trillion (around $1.37 billion), up 19.0 percent compared to a revenue of VND 28.77 trillion in the same period last year.
