Vietnam Real Estate Mergers Hit Record High

Sustained foreign investment in Vietnam’s real estate sector resulted in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) reaching a record total of USD1.5 billion in 2017, according to a recent report by real estate and investment management firm JLL, reported in DEALSTREETASIA.

Foreign investors from Japan, Korea, Singapore and China see Vietnamese real estate as an attractive opportunity, with M&A and joint ventures set to rise again in 2018.

“The legal system continues to improve which provided more confidence to investors looking to gain a foothold in this exciting market. As Vietnam is an emerging market, there are a number of opportunities that can offer investors high returns not seen in other more mature markets,” Stephen Wyatt, JLL’s Country Head for Vietnam told DEALSTREETASIA.
