In Vietnam, 2017 will be remembered for successful diplomatic events – with APEC Economic Leaders’ Week being the most prominent – as well as for the robust economic growth rate of 6.81 per cent, and for a responsive, pro-business government.

Happy New Year

Thanks to these factors and the deeper global integration of Vietnam through various free trade agreements, the business community has entered 2018, the Year of the Dog, with high hopes and expectations.

The achievements of more than 30 years of Doi moi reforms are a source of national pride, which will continue to inspire Vietnam to implement deeper and bolder reforms in the years to come.

New reforms will lift the country to a higher and more sustainable growth trajectory, accelerating its process of becoming a modern and industrialised country.

The government’s reform spirit, free trade agreements, and the sweeping global winds of Industry 4.0 have bolstered the corporate world’s confidence in more robust business prospects unfolding in the country. They also inspire the business community to be more innovative.

We have confidence in an innovative business community in Vietnam. Companies will continue to be pioneers in the country’s journey toward deeper and more comprehensive international integration. They will expand the success of Doi moi and help showcase Vietnam’s values on the global stage.

As we move into the Year of the Dog, we hope that with fresh reforms in the wings, the country will see more rapid and sustainable growth this year, and the business community will prosper from a more favourable business environment as well as from their own innovations.

We wish all of our beloved readers and partners a prosperous and successful New Year!
