VIR’s Vietnam M&A Forum 2011 taking shape

VIR and AVM Vietnam today officially declared the agendas for Vietnam M&A Forum 2011. The event will be held on June 9 in Ho Chi Minh City’s White Palace Venue.

It is the third year Vietnam M&A Forum has been organised in Vietnam, becoming a key channel for investors to seek acquisition and merger opportunities and also a forum to discuss about experience and legal framework.
During 2009-2010, Vietnam M&A Forum was a great success with the attendance of more than 1,000 senior leaders of enterprises in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. The forum has played a big role in spreading the M&A knowledge.
Vietnam M&A Forum will have diverse and practical programmes which meet the need of all attendees.
The forum will have two sessions with the morning session focusing on overall picture of M&As in Vietnam and relevant legal frameworks. The afternoon’s session will address experiences, M&A strategies and post M&A issues.
Speakers and panelists in the VietnamM&A Forum 2011 include leaders and senior experts from the Ministry of Planning and Investment, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, State Securities Commission, national and international specialists in banking and finance, insurance, securities and real estate. Among those, significant speakers are Mayooran Elalingam from Deutsche Bank, Nitil Jaiswal from Bloomberg, Oliver Massmann from Duane Morris and David Do from Vigroup.
VIR editor in chief Nguyen Anh Tuan said this was a good time for discussing M&A activities in Vietnam as the case of M&A was expected to boom this year and the next year.

“As you may know, M&A deals in Vietnam have been on a sharp rise in the last few years in Vietnam and M&As have proved a tendency and effective investment channel for both domestic and foreign enterprises in the country,” said Tuan.
Statistics released by PriceWaterhouseCoopers and the Vietnam M&A Forum’s analysis group show that there were 345 M&A deals in Vietnam last year, with the transaction value of $1.7 billion, or 65 per cent increase against 2009. – VIR
