The search results do not indicate any mergers or acquisitions involving Vietnamese BNPL firms during this period. The emphasis is on partnerships to broaden distribution channels and access new customer segments rather than pursuing growth through mergers and acquisitions.

Regulatory Changes

• The search results indicate that there have been no major regulatory or government policy changes specifically targeting Vietnam's Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) sector over the past 12 months. The emphasis has been on market growth, strategic partnerships, and expansion rather than new regulatory developments. However, several key points about the regulatory environment and government approach can be noted:
• Lack of Specific Regulations: Currently, there are no specific regulatory frameworks or government policies directly governing the BNPL sector in Vietnam. The market is primarily driven by private sector initiatives and partnerships, with minimal formal regulation.
• Consumer Protection Considerations: Although not explicitly addressed, the rapid growth of BNPL services implies a potential need for consumer protection measures to ensure responsible lending practices and mitigate risks associated with rising consumer debt. The government may eventually consider implementing regulations to address these concerns as the market develops.

In summary, the regulatory landscape for Vietnam's BNPL sector has remained largely unchanged, with no significant new policies introduced over the past 12 months. The focus has been on market expansion through strategic partnerships and private sector initiatives, while the government has adopted an implicit stance, allowing the market to evolve without direct intervention.
