Enterprises on the rise

The economic development of Vietnam, the third largest market in Southeast Asia, is driving an inflow of foreign investment. The country offers investors many opportunities, especially in private equity. In 2014, USD 681 million was invested in Vietnam, with the majority of capital allocated to consumer products and retail. Every year since 2008, foreign direct investment commitments have exceeded USD 10 billion, and have been accelerating the country’s GDP growth—which is one of the fastest in the world.

Since 2008, Vietnam’s GDP has experienced stable growth of around 6% per year.

The Vietnamese Government actively supports the private sector, with policies and regulations in place that have enabled a dramatic rise in the number of enterprises. This number rose from 60,000 in 2000, to over 400,000 in 2014. Additionally, privatisations as a result of state-owned enterprise reforms continue to provide a host of interesting investment opportunities.
