Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc has signed a Decision approving the list of 93 State-owned enterprises which will be equitized from now to the end of 2020.

Vietnam could have Southeast Asian’s third-largest e-commerce market by 2025.

As new policies and trade deals change the focus of M&A inflows to Vietnam, the Vietnamese government is expected to remove legal barriers, create a positive environment for foreign investors, and push the divestment process at state-owned enterprises.

Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) have become an important growth strategy for many companies. Yet before engaging in any such activity, companies will need to consider the financial reporting implications of the transaction. This requirement has become especially important following the latest amendments to International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 3 Business Combinations, which will apply to acquisitions that occur on or after January 1, 2020.

In alignment with improvements in investment policies, both domestic and foreign investors are expected to approach the most comprehensive legal consultancy services on investment in Vietnam, contributing to increasing efficiency amid deepening global integration.
