Abstract

Vietnam has emerged as a rapidly growing economy in the last few years, with the average growth rate in excess of 8.0% per year before the global financial crisis and 5.3% in 2009. Although Vietnam is located in a region of significant growth in new property developments, details about the Vietnam property market are still not readily available. This paper presents a profile of the Vietnam property market and assesses the significance and performance of listed property companies on the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange (HSX). The risk-adjusted performance analysis and significance of listed property companies in Vietnam is assessed over August 2003 - August 2009, with the ongoing property investment issues highlighted.
