PPPs in Vietnam

In this 4 feature series we look at Vietnam's recently announced PPP programme. We outline the background and key features of the regulations, highlight implications for prospective investors and compare it against Vietnam's existing BOT regime. We also summarise the procurement timetable, highlight the infrastructure priorities and examine at the role of the Vietnamese Government and the issues they face.

In this first of 4 features, we outline the background to and key features of Vietnam's recently announced PPP programme.

Building on the opening feature in our series on Vietnam's PPP programme, we now focus on what the Vietnamese Government's framework regulations (the "PPP Regulations") actually say; highlight implications for prospective investor participants in the PPP programme; provide a comparative analysis as against Vietnam's existing BOT regime; and summarise the procurement timetable structure.

In the third instalment in our series introducing Vietnam's PPP programme, we turn to look at the infrastructure priorities and the role the Vietnamese Government's (VG) PPP Regulations (effective from January 2011) have in prioritising the same.

In our final look at Vietnam's recently announced PPP programme, we highlight some of the key issues for the Vietnamese Government (VG) to consider in implementing its vision; and for investors to consider when assessing the Vietnamese market in comparison to regional rival's for that investment.
