Vietnam has gradually built a fairly solid economic foundation, showing its ability to adapt in the most difficult times, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. As soon as the epidemic was basically controlled, the country soon opened up, brought production and business activities back to normal, the macro-economy remained stable, inflation was controlled at a low level, and economic balances were restored.
Many prestigious international organizations such as Moody's, Fitch, or Nikkei Asia have positively assessed the prospect of Vietnam's economic recovery and development. Obviously, in the challenge, both find many opportunities to rise up and even make strong breakthroughs.
With an aspiration to turn Vietnam into a developed and high-income country by 2045, the Vietnamese government affirms its view that the foreign-invested economic sector is an important part of the economy; hence, the success of foreign investors is also the success of Vietnam.
