Vietnam’s merger and acquisition (M&A) market is considered the least affected among the Southeast Asian countries since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, but in the new normal state, M&A value is expected to fall substantially to just 3.5 billion USD in 2020.

The Government and relevant parties have been recommended to take strong actions to facilitate mergers and acquisitions (M&As) amidst certain challenges posed by both external and internal factors.

The value of the merger and acquisition (M&A) deals in Vietnam reached 5.43 billion USD in the first seven months of this year, according to data released on July 23 by the AVM Vietnam, a co-organiser of the Vietnam M&A Forum 2019.

Vietnam has become a favoured destination for merger and acquisition (M&A) deals for foreign investors, particularly those from the Republic of Korea (RoK), China’s Hong Kong, Singapore and Japan as the Asian multinationals see the benefits of having presence in one of the region’s fastest-growing economies.

Vietnam’s M&A market is forecast to reach 6.5-6.9 billion USD in 2018, which is lower than the 2017’s record of 10.2 billion USD.

The 10th M&A Vietnam Forum 2018 will take place in Ho Chi Minh City on August 8 to analyse and assess merger and acquisition (M&A) opportunities and trends in Vietnam in the new era.

Merger and acquisition (M&A) deals in Vietnam’s real estate sector are forecast to increase in 2018, driven by the market’s significant potential, experts said.

As competition gets fiercer between domestic and foreign enterprises, the former need to actively build and promote their brand names and identities to remain attractive to both customers and investors in the long run.

Vietnam’s merger and acquisition (M&A) market is seeking a big push as signs of a deceleration have crept up this year.
