This article is for subscribers only.
Vietnam will eliminate limits on foreign ownership in many listed companies, a step likely to spur investment inflows and reduce market volatility.
Overseas investors will be allowed to increase holdings of voting shares in a number of industries to 100 percent from 49 percent currently, according to a statement on the government’s website late Friday. The decree will take effect in September. The foreign investment cap in banks will remain at 30 percent.
