M&A tends to invest in potential projects

Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) activities in Vietnam are forecast to enter a new period of stronger development, with the total value tallying in at approximately US$20 billion, 30% higher than the first stage (US$15 billion).

The prediction was unveiled at a recent press conference on the threshold of Vietnam M&A Forum 2014 scheduled for August.

According to analysis from M&A Forum’s research group, the country’s first stage of M&A deals reach US$15 billion for 2008-2013, with a high record of US$5 billion in 2012.

The second M&A stage (2014- 2018) is expected to see higher growth in value and the number of M&A deals thanks to economic recovery and improvements in enterprise restructuring and approval of legal documents.

Some sectors like banking, production, real estate, information technology, transport and logistics are predicted to undertake big M&A deals, the research group said.
