UOB to facilitate $3.3b pipeline of investments in Vietnam

This is expected to create 13,000 jobs in the country.

UOB is set to facilitate a pipeline of about $3.3b (US$2.4b) potential investments in Vietnam for the next three years, which in turn is expected to create 13,000 jobs in the country.

The investments will be directed to companies in the manufacturing, technology, and consumer goods sectors.

UOB has reportedly helped more than 200 companies from countries such as Singapore, Malaysia, and China to invest in Vietnam since signing a memorandum of understanding with Vietnam’s Foreign Investment Agency in April 2015.

These companies, from sectors that include consumer goods, industrials, as well as construction and infrastructure, are estimated to invest more than $4.6b (US$3.4b) and create more than 20,000 jobs in Vietnam, UOB said.

For their work in facilitating foreign direct investment flows into Vietnam, UOB recently received a certificate of merit from Vietnam’s Ministry of Planning and Investment at a meeting with Vietnam president Nguyen Xuan Phuc and other senior government officials. UOB is the first Singapore bank to receive the award.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
