Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam – Last Thursday evening, 27th July 2017, SBG organised the Raffles Night – Vietnam M&A Market: Opportunities For Foreign Companies the prestigious Intercontinental Saigon. The event attracted more than 100 attendees.
M&A activities in Vietnam set new record high with a big jump in total deal value to US$10.15bn in 2016, increasing by almost 95% compared to the previous year. This demonstrates very strong capital inflows into Vietnam via M&A channels, and poses many opportunities for investors who are considering expanding business in Vietnam.
During the seminar, the 3 invited speakers shared in-depth reports about Vietnam M&A market trends for years and the most updated information about the major development in M&A activities, key sectors, and especially discuss future investment opportunities from SOE (“State-owned Enterprise”) equitization process. This was a unique opportunity for SBG members and other chambers to get more insights about the investment trends and provides inputs for your business expansion in Vietnam.
