16:22, 2016/02/28
The “Doing Business in Vietnam Guide” has been launched to inform foreign investors about the quirks of the Vietnamese business environment.

The guide was jointly produced by International Market Advisor and the UK Institute of Export, with support from the British Consulate General in Ho Chi Minh City, the British Business Group Vietnam, and e-Regulations Vietnam.
Leading British firms in Vietnam, including investment fund Dragon Capital, also collaborated in the programme.
The main objective of the Doing Business in Vietnam Guide is to provide foreign investors with a basic knowledge about Vietnam, including an overview of its economy, business culture, and potential opportunities.
Moreover, the guide aims to identify the main issues associated with initial research, market entry, risk management, as well as cultural and language issues - making it a must read, particularly useful for new investors and first-time exporters in and to Vietnam.
