With a stable political environment and its economic potential Viet Nam is an attractive destination for foreign investors. The Vietnamese Government has been endeavouring to create a favorable investment environment by continuing to revise Viet Nam s legal system and introducing important incentives for foreign investors. This book is divided into seven sections to provide foreign investors with an overview of Viet Nam including its social economic and investment environment. The purpose of this book is not to provide a detailed analysis of Viet Nam s economy or its foreign investment formalities but to give a general introduction and supply the necessary information to foreign investors who are looking at potential investment opportunities in the country. We believe that this will be a helpful guidebook for foreign investors in Viet Nam. 1 PwCMATeMOUsEQdPERS @ TABLE OF CONTENTS PART I. VIET NAM COUNTRY AND 1. 2. 3. NATURAL 4. Political 5.
