After seeing positive results in the first half of 2022, mergers and acquisition (M&A) activities in Vietnam are forecast to slow down in the second half as investors become more conservative about several macro trends impacting the country’s economy.

Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) in the banking industry are expected to remain high for the rest of the year as the industry continues the digital transformation process, according to experts.

Vietnam’s merger and acquisitions (M&A) market in 2022 is forecast to include big deals worth billions of dollars in the banking industry.

VOV.VN - Amid fierce competition, several local logistics enterprises have conducted mergers and acquisitions (M&A) deals in a bid to increase their competitiveness within the domestic market, according to insiders.

VOV.VN - Vietnam’s real estate market has attracted US$2.12 billion in foreign direct investment (FDI) over the past 10 months, ranking third among sectors attracting FDI this year, according to the Ministry of Planning and Investment.

As global mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity continues to rebound following a pandemic-fuelled freeze, Vietnam is expected to benefit from the growth of deal-making.

Several of Vietnam’s key export sectors, such as textile-garment, leather-footwear, and electronics have become magnets for merger and acquisition (M&As) activities, posing a risk of leading enterprises in those sectors being purchased by foreign investors.

Vietnam ranks second out of 50 economies in the mergers and acquisitions environment attractiveness index released by market research firm Euromonitor.
