Rapid urbanization supported by a young, growing and educated population all bode well for an economy with one of the world's fastest growing gross domestic product (GDP) rates. With robust growth momentum, the World Bank has projected that Vietnam's GDP will expand by 6.8 per cent in 2018. Understandably, this has fuelled the appetites of global investors looking to make their mark in Vietnam's burgeoning domestic real estate market.”

Since 2015, the bulk of big-ticket mergers and acquisition (M&A) transactions that we have seen have been championed by those investing in property development sites, followed by hotels, apartments and offices. This is testament to the fact that those pouring money into Vietnam are in it for the long run.”
