Big merger and acquisition (M&A) deals seen in the market recently have signaled a busy period in the rest of the year when the legal corridor becomes smoother.

Amid considerable changes in the global investment trend in many important real estate segments, Vietnam has still been one of the destinations drawing great interest from investors thanks to the positive recovery capacity and the flexibility of the country’s economy, according to a recent report from Savills Vietnam.

Investors from Singapore, the Republic of Korea (RoK), Taiwan (China), Japan and Malaysia invested about 1.4 billion USD in merger and acquisition (M&A) deals in the field of real estate in Vietnam in the first seven months of this year.

There has been a surge in the number of foreign investors interested in merger and acquisition (M&A) deals in the Vietnamese real estate market, which is a hope for Vietnamese property developers amid the current capital thirst, according to the latest market research released by the Vietnam Association of Realtors (VAR).

Vietnam has become a favoured destination for merger and acquisition (M&A) deals for foreign investors, particularly those from the Republic of Korea (RoK), China’s Hong Kong, Singapore and Japan as the Asian multinationals see the benefits of having presence in one of the region’s fastest-growing economies.

Vietnam’s real estate market will maintain mid-term stability in 2018, while merger and acquisition (M&A) in the sector will continue to see strong development.
