Overview

The Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (Matrade) has identified Vietnam as a potential market for Malaysian trade and business activities investment as the country has a young population, is politically stable and has recorded a continuous growth rate over the past few years. Matrade highlighted that Vietnam has commercial potential in many fields and amongst others, business opportunities in education, fast-food outlets, eyewear products and restaurants. Malaysia also enjoyed a highflying reputation in the areas of infrastructure and construction with its existing projects in Vietnam.

As Vietnam’s third largest trading partner, Malaysia and Vietnam have continued to expand their relations over the years in various areas such as trade, the promotion and protection of investments and the exploration and exploitation of petroleum. By December 2009, Malaysian companies had invested in projects worth about US$18 billion in the country, making it the biggest investor among Asean countries in Vietnam.

Organisations planning to enter the Vietnamese market will need to make informed strategic decisions. Vietnam has a complex taxation and regulatory regime which requires careful consideration and these aspects must be looked into at an early stage of investment in order to minimise complications later.

With this in mind, PricewaterhouseCoopers Vietnam Desk is conducting a 1.5-hour session for those interested in doing business in Vietnam covering key issues such as foreign investment requirements, human resources, monetary and fiscal policies.
