The basis for merger remedies and suggestions for Vietnam

Abstract

From the analysis of the theories and the necessity of using merger remedies, the paper provides some policy recommendations for merger control in Vietnam. Based on the current practice of merger regulation, the paper suggests that Vietnam should separate the conditions for notification process and the ground for final conclusion. Particularly, in order to achieve the goals of merger control, Vietnam should prioritize the behavior remedies while calling for all types of merger measures. However, all effort becomes meaningless if the Vietnam’s competition management authority lacks legal power and transparency.
