Despite a slowdown in 2024, Vietnam’s mergers and acquisitions (M&A) market is expected to regain momentum, driven by the country’s strong economic fundamentals and supportive government policies.

International organisations have maintained their robust growth forecasts for Vietnam this year as the economy has bounced back strongly despite external uncertainties and extensive damage caused by Typhoon Yagi.

The northern province of Vinh Phuc enjoyed robust economic growth in the first eight months of 2019.

Vietnam’s industrial zones have been attracting attention from foreign investors thanks to its robust economic growth, abundant workforce, and the signing of various free trade deals which are expected to form a more favourable business climate, according to the latest report from Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL).

The profitability of Vietnamese banks is strengthening as robust economic growth fuels credit demand and supports an improvement in asset quality, but challenges are also apparent, Moody’s Investors Service said in a recent report.

India has always been a steadfast friend and a development partner of Vietnam, an official from the Indian Ministry of External Affairs said.
