Hanoi (VNA) - The VietJet Aviation Joint Stock Company plans an initial public offering (IPO) in Vietnam before going overseas, the airline firm’s spokesperson told Viet Nam News on September 16.

“The fact that we list in Vietnam’s stock market first satisfies the country’s securities laws and regulations.”

“These documents will therefore be available and accessible to potential investors.”
