Vietnam M&A Forum award winners for 2019-2020

The Vietnam M&A Forum 2020 takes place in the new normal while Vietnam, as part of the global economy, is trying to shake off the blow from the coronavirus pandemic and make the most of the new investment trends of the region and the world at large. Nevertheless, unlike most other economies, the outlook for the Vietnamese economy remains quite positive thanks to the country’s efforts to take drastic measures to reform the domestic investment and business climate, effectively curb the pandemic, and potentially benefit from a noticeable shift in foreign investment flows.

Le Trong Minh, editor-in-chief of Vietnam Investment Review and head of the Organising Board, said they have high hopes for an upsurge in the scale and value of M&A deals in the Vietnamese market in the coming time, to be triggered once all necessary and favourable conditions come together. This expectation seems to be very much in line with the forecasts of many domestic and foreign organisations as Vietnam is one of the rare bright spots on the radars of international investors.

“The Organising Board hopes that the awards will encourage companies to overcome difficulties and make use of their advantages in M&A transactions to consolidate and develop their entities into powerful economic corporations,” he added.
