In 2024, the merger and acquisition markets will continue to be vibrant.

That is the opinion of Dr. Nguyen Tuan Anh (RMIT University Vietnam) at the Workshop "Consumer goods and distribution industry: "Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) trends and investment strategies for Vietnamese enterprises" organized by the Association of High-quality Vietnamese Goods Enterprises and the Leading Business Club (LBC) on March 12.

According to Dr. Nguyen Tuan Anh (RMIT University Vietnam), in 2024, the M&A market will continue to be vibrant, because investors will target businesses with stable and long-term product investment strategies in the agricultural and food industries. Investors also want to close deals in areas that can take advantage of cheap valuations such as: Real estate, construction. In addition, the positivity and excitement in the market also comes from internal causes of domestic enterprises, when domestic capital sources are tightened, many businesses are forced to restructure, sell assets, and call for investment to resolve financial pressure.

However, to attract foreign investment, especially investors with long-term investment strategies, Dr. Nguyen Tuan Anh said that the policy environment in Vietnam must be more favorable for divestment activities. Because when pouring money in, investors must consider how to get it out. Another factor is how to create conditions to shorten the time to complete the transaction.

“Finding new investors and foreign investors is what Vietnamese businesses need, but what is more important is good macroeconomic policies so that businesses can easily access foreign capital and help improve the position of Vietnamese businesses in the M&A process,” said economist Pham Chi Lan.
