Vietnam continues to demonstrate remarkable resilience despite a volatile global geopolitical and economic environment. While US tariff tensions have disrupted global trade, Vietnam still recorded strong import–export growth and nearly 8% GDP growth in 2025.

Much of this momentum is driven by a powerful domestic agenda — from large-scale infrastructure investment to sweeping legislative and technological reforms under the new government. This “self-drive mode” of development echoes earlier ASEAN growth stories where economic expansion went hand in hand with strong equity markets.

With resilient local investors and the prospect of an Emerging Market upgrade attracting global capital, Vietnam remains a compelling long-term investment story.
