HA NOI (Biz Hub) — State-owned Viglacera Corporation approved a plan to raise its charter capital to VND3.07 trillion (US$137.4 million) from VND2.64 trillion at the annual meeting on April 26.
In addition, the ceramic building material producer will decrease State-owned capital from 91.5 to 75 per cent, as approved by the Ministry of Construction in 2014, as well as register trade or list shares on the stock market by the last quarter of 2016.

As of December 31, 2015, Viglacera's total assets reached VND8.77 trillion, 10 per cent lower than the beginning of last year.
