Mergers and acquisitions are not too strange terms in Vietnam, especially after Vietnam’s economy opened under WTO commitments.
We have heard about the famous M&A – Mergers and acquisitions in the market such as the merger of Vingroup’s Vincommerce General Trading Services Joint Stock Company (retail), VinEco Company (agriculture) and Masan Consumer Holding Joint Stock Company (consumer). Vinamilk spent nearly VND 1,800 billion to acquire GTNFoods – the holding company of Moc Chau Milk. FWD acquires VCLI from Vietcombank. Aozora Bank, Japan spent more than VND 3,100 billion to buy OCB shares. The Thai corporation bought Thipha Cables and Dovina for $240 million;
In particular, after the rapid and strong development of foreign investment in Vietnam, mergers and acquisitions activities also took place strongly in both small and medium enterprises in Vietnam.
