FOREWORD

In recent years, Viet Nam’s economy has benefited from its Government’s open-door policy. With a stable political environment and its economic potential, Viet Nam is an attractive destination for foreign investors.

The Vietnamese Government has been endeavoring to create a favorable investment environment by continuing to complete Viet Nam’s legal system and introducing important incentives for foreign investors.

To provide an overview of the investment environment in Viet Nam, Le Nguyen has compiled and issued this Guidelines. The information in this Guidelines is based on current regulations and practice as at 01 November 2017.

The Guidelines are divided into five sections to provide foreign investors with an overview of Viet Nam including its social, economic and investment environment. The purpose of this book is not to provide a detailed analysis of Viet Nam’s economy or its foreign investment forms in Viet Nam, but to give a general introduction and supply the necessary information to foreign investors who are looking at potential opportunities of investment in the country.

We believe that this will be a helpful guidelines for foreign investors in Viet Nam.
