In 2006 Vietnam completed the most significant period of reforms in its modern history, culminating with its accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO). With the revision of its legal system, the development of stronger institutions to guide future reforms and the establishment of a buoyant securities market, opportunities for investors in Vietnam have never been greater. And the fundamentals for Vietnam's current economic growth are very solid - the most obvious of which is the post-war baby boom that has created a young, dynamic labour force that is eager to work and shows a large capacity to consume.

After more than a decade of sustained growth, analysts and investors continue to seek explanations for the increases in the pricing of real estate, particularly at the top end of the market. In many cities and regions, investors are competing over a limited base of supply, accepting compressed yields, or turning to emerging markets, apparently showing a greater willingness to take on risk in the process.

Property is emerging as a new asset class in China. The real estate market has been attracting huge interest recently with potential foreign investors. Strong economic growth continues to drive the property market in major cities, while second-tier cities are also attracting the focus of foreign investors. China's economic liberalisation, over the last twenty years, has led to a continuous trend of urbanisation. It is estimated that 400 million people will move from the countryside to cities in the next ten years. The implication is clear for the growth of the property market. The demand for higher-quality residential and commercial property will continue to grow, extending across an ever-wider number of locations.

China`s wind power generation capacity doubled in 2006 and it set to grow at an equally dramatic speed over the next three years. Although still a small contributor to China`s overall energy needs, energy production from alternative sources is now reaching levels comparable to those in Europe and North America. China is still dependent on coal energy but aims for 15 percent of the country`s primary energy to come from renewable sources by 2020, up from six percent in 2006. The government`s commitment to alternative energy now provides incentives for investment, including research and development, into new technologies. This is driving the growth of domestic alternative energy companies, some of which are already at the leading edge and competing globally. This study gives detailed information on each of the energy sources and their potential in the future.

With the recent opening up of the sector for foreign banks, we view the timing of this report as particularly opportune.
