New Study Analyzes the Development of Japanese Investment in Vietnam

DUBLIN, Ireland--(Business Wire)--Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c77871) has announced the
addition of China Plus One Japanese Investment Strategies in Vietnam
to their offering.

Vietnam became a member of the WTO in 2007. The huge business
opportunities that this created have made Vietnam a new economic force
that is attracting a lot of foreign investment. Japanese businesses
started investing in Vietnam in 1990. Japanese companies have been
raising investment in Vietnam in order to reduce production costs and
to spread risks on overseas investments. Currently, free trade
agreements between Vietnam and Japan are in the final stages of
negotiation and these are expected to be signed by the end of 2007.
Japanese investment in Vietnam can therefore be expected to continue
to increase in the future. This paper will analyze Japanese and other
foreign investment in Vietnam as well as the development of Japanese
companies in Vietnam.
