The Covid-19 pandemic is accelerating what has already been apparent in Vietnam for some time – the country is a magnet for foreign direct investment. Indeed, in a recent article on TheAsset.com, Vietnam’s Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc reported that the country’s growth rate of 3.82% in the first quarter of 2020 had outpaced its Asean neighbours, which have been slower exiting from the pandemic’s lockdowns. What’s more, as the US-China trade war intensifies, more companies are relocating part of their supply chain outside of China, and Vietnam, ahead of rivals like Malaysia and Indonesia, is increasingly becoming the number one choice.

In conjunction with these trends, The Asset Events Plus, in association with Fitch Ratings, is pleased to host Fitch on Vietnam, a two-part webinar series that gathers the country’s economic experts and key players to discuss the opportunities on offer as this emerging market reopens for business.
