Vietnam is set to lead Southeast Asian economic growth, with the World Bank and IMF projecting 6.5% growth, fueled by manufacturing exports, tourism, and investment. Dragon Capital, in its recent white paper, calls Vietnam the “last dragon of East Asia,” emphasizing its appeal as an investment destination.
The paper identifies five strengths driving Vietnam’s potential:
Human Capital: A youthful population and a strong focus on education and skills enhance productivity.
Social Capital: Effective governance ensures stability, fostering shared economic growth.
Physical Capital: Strategic FDI and infrastructure projects bolster industrial growth and exports.
Foreign Relations: Balanced diplomacy attracts diverse investments and strengthens economic resilience.
Financial Markets: Progress toward Emerging Market status by 2025 could unleash significant stock market inflows.
