Vietnam is set to close 2022 with fewer private equity (PE) deals — both large-ticket and mid-sized — compared with 2021, despite the pandemic effect having largely waned. Investors and industry experts attributed it to market uncertainties, triggered by an inflationary environment and global supply-chain disruption.
While VinaCapital told DealStreetAsia recently that the firm has deferred two major PE transactions due to an unfavourable environment, education platform Nguyen Hoang Group has also reportedly put its stake sale on hold.
