Investors navigate unpredictable landscape in 2025

Addressing the conference, Le Trong Minh, VIR's editor-in-chief, said, "There are several variables in a complex and unpredictable global market with potential risks from the political and economic environment. This has a somewhat negative impact on the outlook of the recovery of Vietnam's economic growth, putting pressure on macroeconomic management and making it more difficult to predict and navigate this landscape."

"Over the past half year, many forecasts have come true, and many variables have been clarified so they are no longer variables," Minh said. "The results of the world's most watched election have been revealed. The actions taken by the US Federal Reserve, which all economies have been anxiously awaiting, have slowly come to light, whilenumerous variables in the global economy have been resolved."

Along with rapid and strong international fluctuations, a series of changes have created many new variables. Although the results of the US presidential election have been announced, there are different scenarios associated with policy uncertainties following Donald Trump's comeback. New conflicts and political fluctuations around the world have led to new concerns about market operations. With an economy as open as Vietnam, the level of external impact will certainly need to be carefully calculated.

"Today's conference will discuss the impact of these variables on the global businesses and investment environment in 2025. Experts and investors not only forecast the trends affecting investment channels, but also identify the best asset groups next year. Thus, investors can navigate the investment landscape against the backdrop of both headwinds and tailwinds in the local and international markets," he said.
