HCM CITY (Biz Hub) — Viet Nam has attractive and potential investment opportunities and this is the message that Dragon Capital will convey to its international investors, said the company's CEO Dominic Scriven.

"People talked a lot about China and India 10 years ago, but they have now turned much of their interest to ASEAN, and Viet Nam is a highly dynamic economy in the region," noted Scriven.

"Viet Nam's determination to implement comprehensive reforms will result in many attractive investment opportunities and that's the message we want to send to our investors throughout the world," he said, at Dragon Capital's 20th anniversary celebrations last Friday.

During the ceremony, the group and its CEO were both awarded by the State with a Third Grade Labour Order for their contribution to the growth of Viet Nam's financial market in particular, and its economy in general, since the company's establishment in 1994.

Apart from managing investment funds of about US$1.3 billion, the group has been involved in setting up and developing financial institutions like HCM City Securities Company and the Viet Nam Fund Management Company, and has acted as a bridge for foreign individuals and institutions to invest in the country.

It also supported social and community development via donations for scholarships and by funding environment conservation projects. — VNS
