New regulations in Vietnam restrict foreign ownership in airport and seaport businesses. Companies operating in these sectors must have a minimum charter capital of 100 billion Vietnamese Dong (approximately $4.1 million USD). Foreign investors are limited to a maximum of 30% ownership stake in these enterprises. The rules aim to maintain state control and security over critical infrastructure. These stipulations apply to both airport and seaport operations within the country. The government has not yet specified when these regulations will take effect, or details regarding enforcement. This move signals a tightening of investment rules in strategically important sectors.
