Report Summary
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Vietnam is a country, a developing and an ambitious one. There are many stories about this S-curve shape country in Southeast Asia.
Most of the time Vietnam is known to the world thanks to Vietnam War. But Vietnam has many more to offer. The road to prosperity
and advanced democracy is still ahead but it cannot be denied that there have been major changes during the past three decades
which have made Vietnam become an attractive destination of tourists, investors, and businesses worldwide.
Southeast Asia, Indochina, or Vietnam is well-known as emerging markets. We have to acknowledge the fact that every growth in the
region and in Vietnam particularly is teamed up with chaos before the market itself moves to a performing stage. We are in the
opinion that it is worth risk-taking for making investment or doing business in Vietnam. We will show you later on in the report a
transformation of a country on the progress of going through decisive, fundamental changes. One would probably share with us that it
is rewarding to select Vietnam in our discussion agenda.
We start by looking at the investment environment in Vietnam. The road to a market economy for Vietnam began in early 2000s as
the controlling Communist Party and the government started the Renewal Process since 1986 ' the greatest transformation of the
country since the 1975 reunification. WTO entry in 2007 let Vietnam further integrate into the world economy. We will examine both
the investment environment in Vietnam which is applicable to overseas investors and the landscape of international investment
conducted by Vietnamese enterprises recently. The report provides details on key macroeconomic indicators, trends of foreign
investment in Vietnam, taxation issues, banking system, private equity, and corruption.
Next, we examine the regulatory and legal framework relevant to investment, especially foreign investment, in Vietnam. The report
provides details on legal basis, forms of foreign investment, merger and acquisition, regulation and licensing in telecommunications,
privatization and liberalization of the telecom market, and the new telecommunications law.
We then take a closer look at the ICT industry in Vietnam. The report provides deep analysis on major challenges and opportunities
as well as every single aspect of the industry: from wireless communication including mobile communications and satellite
communications to wireline communications consisting of fixed-line telephony, VoIP, submarine cables, Internet and capacity services
and to IT-relateds such as Internet Data Center, software, hardware, and digital contents. Profiles of major companies in the industry
are also provided for further preference.
We try to keep the report as short and as much informative as possible. We choose to be objective from an insider's viewpoint.
Although it is a market research, we would like to share more than we could. We composed with passion and careful research
although statistically we are seeking more accuracy on the figures as public information is not available nor well organized and
reliable.
