    Firstly, the development of Vietnamese economic has changed rapidly. Until 1986, Viet Nam had operated as a centrally planned economy with significant inputs of aid from the Soviet Union. Viet Nam was closed to FDI until the adoption of ‘doi moi’ (renewal). In 1987, the first foreign investment law was passed. Since then, the FDI legislation has been revised four times - in 1990, 1992, 1996 and 2000. The increased integration of the Vietnamese economy into the world economy during the 1990s has been accompanied by…

    For Chemical Corporation, horizontal entry into the Vietnam market through a non-equity strategic alliance with independent distributers is our recommended course of action. We would enter into business cooperation contracts with interested distributers with the intent of creating a mutually beneficial relationship between distributers and the company. By pursuing this course of action, overall risk to the corporation is minimized in many ways, while at the same time providing a gateway to a new and potentially lucrative market. Specifically, risk is minimized through the lack of capital investments in new factories, new supply chains, or the development and creation of a subsidiary distributer.…

    THE VIETNAMESE STOCK MARKET By Roberta S. Karmel Thirty years ago, I never imagined I would be visiting Vietnam and be warmly welcomed as an American, witnessing a nation enjoying economic growth and increasing prosperity, despite some of the lingering ill effects of Agent Orange in the countryside. Yet, last month, as part of a delegation from the Financial Women’s Association, I had the good fortunate to travel to Vietnam and meet with government officials and others and learn about business developments and Vietnam’s booming stock market. i[i] It is noteworthy that the United States is Vietnam’s top trading partner, and its second biggest investor after Taiwan. Vietnam’s GDP is rising dramatically, its foreign direct investment is rapidly increasing, and its stock market is soaring. On November 7, 2006, Vietnam was officially recognized by the international community as the 150th WTO member. Vietnam is Asia’s second fastest growing economy after China, and it has been forecast that Vietnam will become the world’s 17th largest economy by 2025. Although the country has been a oneparty communist state since 1976, Vietnam has eased restrictions on private enterprise and is selling off many state owned enterprises (“SOEs”) to the public. These offerings are not referred to as “privatizations” for ideological reasons, but rather are called “equitizations.” In 1986, Vietnam launched the Doi Moi (or Renovation) intended to transition the country from a centralized economy to a socialist-oriented market economy. These reforms have borne fruit. In 2006, Vietnam’s stock market index surged 145% and in the first three months of 2007, the index rose another 60%. It should be understood that the Vietnamese stock…
