    Why invest in ASEAN?

    • Viet Nam

      Once among the smaller economies in ASEAN, Viet Nam today emerges as a country moving towards economic modernization and engaging in competitive and export driven industries. Viet Nam’s average GDP growth from 2006 to 2011 was strong at 6.8%. Its GDP doubled to US$ 123 billion from US$ 61 billion in 2006. Exports value has been substantially growing since 2009. Major exports are machinery, equipment part and accessories, raw petroleum, garment, and electronic accessories.

      Viet Nam’s competitive edges are its dynamic market of almost 88 million people and a cost-competitive workforce. Growth in Viet Nam’s consumer spending, which is larger than the country’s population growth, is fueled by the increasing number of high-income class families, large number of youth, and tourism development.

      Industries ripe for investments include aqua-agriculture, retail, telecommunications, construction, manufacturing, among others.
