The Right Time to Invest? The Vietnamese Capital and M&A Markets in 2010/2011
Since the early 2000s, the growth of the Vietnamese capital markets and the surge in Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) activities has greatly contributed to the development of Vietnam. Over the past years, Vietnam has witnessed a continued growth in deal activity in all sectors, and transactions with increasingly more and larger domestic companies involved. With the Vietnamese economy now in recovery, both foreign and Vietnamese companies are showing an increasing interest for investment, both in M&A / Private Equity targets and generally into the growing Vietnamese capital markets, including stock- and bond markets.
Is it the right time to invest into Vietnamese capital markets now? Which sectors would be the most attractive ones? Our Business Briefing will approach the topic from both an economic and a regulatory side: First, the briefing will explore the economic trends for the capital- and M&A markets in Vietnam. Second, we will look at the regulatory framework for transactions in Vietnam, and potential obstacles when investing into the capital- and M&A markets in Vietnam.
