ASEAN Path #4 Vietnam into ASEAN – perspectives and challenges

ASEAN PATH is a series of white papers prepared by DFDL’s experts aiming to assess, in more depth, compelling issues arising from the regional economic integration under the auspices of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (“ASEAN”) Economic Community Blueprint. The articles are based on an in-depth legal analysis of the local and ASEAN legal framework from the perspective of a practitioner assisting foreign and ASEAN investors in their investments and operations throughout various ASEAN Member States.

Since 1986, after the launch of the Doi Moi (Open Door) policy, economic and political reforms have significantly transformed the investment landscape of Vietnam. On this version of ASEAN Path #4, Kristy Newby, Jérôme Buzenet and Hoang Phong Anh will provide some precious information about the country recent development in FDI and ACIA agreement as well as new opportunities and challenges.
