November 23, 2004 — A workshop was held in November 2004 on “Investment Incentive Regimes in Vietnam”. This was sponsored by the Ministry of Planning and Investment (MPI), with support from the International Finance Corporation’s Mekong Private Sector Development Facility (IFC-MPDF) and the World Bank Group’s Foreign Investment Advisory Service (FIAS).
The event brought together representatives from government, business and donors to discuss the issues of incentives and investor protection. Based on this and other inputs, the Law Drafting Team will draft the Comprehensive Investment Law by 2005. The objective of the new law is to integrate investment-related legislation, including the Domestic Investment Encouragement Law and the Foreign Investment Law.
