Introduction to Vietnamese Market
Ho Chi Minh city—the biggest and most developed city of Viet Nam
Vietnam follows an export-led growth model, as can be found in several emerging economies, combining trade liberalization and foreign direct investment promotion to spur exports. Vietnam’s growth has accelerated in recent years in part due to the US-China trade war, which kicked off in July 2018. As part of the fallout, Vietnam’s exports to the US rose by 28.8 percent year on year in the first quarter of 2019, making the US the largest importer of Vietnamese goods. A number of manufacturing businesses have also moved operations to Vietnam, including Foxconn, Samsung, and LG.
