VN listing dealbook: Gia Lai Hydropower, Pacific Dinco

Past two years have seen a number of loss-making firms de-list, either forcibly or voluntarily, from Vietnam’s two stock exchanges. As a result, the number of companies listed, on both the Hanoi Stock Exchange and the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange, has gone down. This might be rectified in 2015, as several joint stock companies register their IPO auction on the exchanges. Most prominent among these are Gia Lai Hydropower and Pacific Dinco, both from the central of Vietnam.
