The equitisation and reform of State owned enterprises (SOE’s) in Vietnam commenced in the mid-1990s but without a clear roadmap or specific timetable. It gained increased impetus about a decade later when some of the major SOEs were equitised. Privatisation in the banking and telecom sectors has been slow. The potential inherent in the equitisation of SOE’s in Vietnam remains largely unrealised.
Ownership by foreign investors in listed companies is limited to 49% of their share capital, or 30% in respect of listed commercial banks.
After an initial period of hype and excitement subsequent to the Government’s announcement of planned equitisations, the reality has proved to be somewhat beneath expectations. Successful equitisations have, unfortunately, been few and far between, and those that have been implemented have been implemented on a significantly smaller scale than the foreign investment community may have hoped.
Coming off the back of a difficult economic year in 2012, the Government announced plans for hundreds of equitisations to be implemented over five years, commencing in 2013. This should hopefully present some excellent opportunities for foreign investors, and provide much-needed stimulus to the Vietnam economy.
Welcome legislative reforms have arrived, and more are expected, which will hopefully bring greater clarity and transparency to the equitisation process, and bolster foreign investor interest in the Vietnam market.
Participation in equitisations, particularly as a foreign strategic investor, is never easy, and the legislative and regulatory playing field still has some distance to go before it is clear, well-defined, and easily understandable. We draw your attention to a legal update which we have previously prepared on the Equitisation process. Please click here if you would like to read this summary. The importance of quality legal advice, and assistance from professionals who have closely followed equitisations since the concept of equitisations first arose in Vietnam in the mid-1990s, cannot be underestimated.
