Investor information CapitaLand Group is negotiating a deal worth about $1.5 billion with Vinhomes. The deal has not yet been confirmed by both parties. But it is still one of the rays of light that makes the real estate market “hot” again.
1. M&A activities will accelerate than last year
In recent years, investors Gamuda Land and CapitaLand have become emerging “stars”. On the M&A race in the real estate sector in Vietnam
