Vietnam Investment Guide - Foreign direct investment

The existing investment regime in Vietnam came into effect on 1 July 2006 and is comprised of a Law on Enterprises (“LOE”) and a Law on Investment (“LOI”), which for the first time in Vietnam, regulated equally both domestic and foreign investors, for the establishment and operation of corporations and investment in projects.
Currently, a draft amended LOI and LOE are under consideration by the Government. The draft amended laws are intended to address certain gaps in the existing laws and improve the quality and efficiency of the country’s investment climate. Part III highlights the key issues set out in the draft amended legislation. It is expected that Vietnam will have amended investment regime laws in effect by 2015.
