Thanks to its robust economic performance and supportive policy framework, Vietnam continues to be an attractive destination for investors. Overall, M&A transactions in Vietnam have seen steady growth, particularly after Vietnam officially became a member of the World Trade Organization ("WTO") in 2007.

Public M&A activity in Vietnam was first officially regulated under the Securities Law passed in 2006. Since then, the Government has introduced a large number of new regulations, which have helped promote the development of public M&A activities in Vietnam.
