Fidinam Podcast – Unlocking Vietnam: Exploring the Investment Landscape

Episode 1: Exploring the Investment Landscape

Vietnam, a land of breathtaking landscapes, rich culture, and a dynamic economy, has emerged as a prime investment destination for foreign companies and visionary entrepreneurs.

In the first episode of our podcast series, we will explore Vietnam's attractiveness for foreign direct investment (FDI) and delve into the investment opportunities it offers. To discuss these topics head-on, we invited the CEO of Dragon Capital, the largest offshore independent asset manager and investor in Vietnam's equity markets, Beat Schuerch.

We'll examine the country's remarkable economic growth and development over the past two decades and provide insights into its cultural, political and economic evolution. We'll discuss the opportunities and challenges of doing business in Vietnam and help you understand why this Southeast Asian nation is capturing the attention of global investors. Finally, we'll consider the great potential Vietnam holds for the future.

In a nutshell

Vietnam's economic journey over the past few decades has been nothing short of remarkable. Vietnam's journey from a war-torn nation to a thriving economic hub is a testament to its resilience and determination. The country has transitioned from a centrally planned economy to a socialist-oriented market economy, embarking on economic reforms known as Đổi Mới (Renovation) in the late 1980s. This transformation has been a driving force behind the country's rapid economic growth.

However, while Vietnam holds great promise, it's important to be aware of the challenges that foreign investors may face, such as regulatory hurdles, lack of adequate infrastructure and cultural differences. Nevertheless, Vietnam's potential remains bright. Its continued commitment to economic reform, coupled with its growing consumer market and skilled workforce, positions it as a promising investment destination. The country's participation in trade agreements such as the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) and the European Union-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) further enhances its appeal.

As a result, the country's appeal as a prime investment destination for foreign companies and visionary entrepreneurs is solid and growing. Potential investors are invited to navigate the challenges wisely and embrace the opportunities that this dynamic nation offers. As Vietnam continues to evolve and expand its global footprint, those who invest wisely may find themselves at the forefront of a truly transformative period in its history.
