Among them, the real estate and healthcare sectors, according to lawyer Hsiu-Hau, will continue to be bustling in the coming time. Especially for industrial real estate, there will be bustling M&A deals.
Regarding the real estate industry in general, lawyer Hsiu-Hau said that the changes in the Real Estate Law with positive amendments have also impacted this market. From there, it has created conditions for foreign investors to participate in the real estate market of Vietnam, through M&A deals.
"We have seen a lot of investor interest in the real estate market. But we also expect that in the near future, in addition to real estate, there will be many projects in renewable energy; health care," added lawyer Hsiu-Hau.
According to lawyer Hsiu-Hau, there have been many M&A deals in the field of medical services and health care in the past and he still expects there will be more M&A deals in this field in the future.
Lawyer Hsiu-Hau believes that with changes in policies and regulations in the healthcare sector, a legal corridor will be created to attract foreign capital, thereby creating a buzz in M&A activities.
However, Vietnam’s legal procedures are also a barrier, taking a lot of time, forcing M&A deals to take from 9 months to 1 year. At the same time, not only the lengthy procedures but also the uncertainty of whether or not they will be approved has prolonged the time, discouraging investors, so if these barriers are removed, M&A deals will be accelerated.
However, lawyer Hsiu-Hau currently sees that the Vietnamese Government has accelerated the digitalization process to streamline procedures, helping M&A deals shorten the time, in order to attract capital from foreign investors.
