      <image:caption>Surface treatment processes can be broadly classified into mechanical, chemical, and thermal processes. Each type offers distinct benefits suited to different industrial applications. Common surface treatment processes include: Mechanical Processes: Blasting: Using abrasive materials to clean and roughen the surface. Shot Peening: Bombarding the surface with small spherical media to improve fatigue resistance. Chemical/Thermal Processes: Case Hardening: Hardening the surface layer while maintaining a tough interior. Powder Coating: Applying a dry powder that is cured under heat to form a hard finish. Nitriding: Diffusing nitrogen into the surface to enhance hardness and wear resistance. Phosphating: Applying a phosphate coating to enhance corrosion resistance and paint adhesion. Black Oxidizing: Forming a black oxide coating to improve corrosion resistance and reduce light reflection. Galvanizing: Coating with zinc to protect against corrosion. Chrome Plating: Electroplating a thin layer of chromium to improve hardness, corrosion resistance, and aesthetic appeal. Zinc Plating: Applying a zinc coating to protect against corrosion.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News &amp; Events - Elevating Material Properties: Advanced Heat Treatment Solutions - Key Heat Treatment Techniques</image:title>
      <image:caption>Annealing: A process that softens metal, improves ductility, and relieves internal stresses. Annealing involves heating the material to a specific temperature, holding it there, and then cooling it slowly. Case Hardening: A technique used to harden the surface layer of a material while maintaining a softer, ductile core. This process enhances wear resistance and fatigue strength. Precipitation Strengthening (Age Hardening): Involves heating the material to a high temperature to form small particles within the metal, which enhance its strength and hardness. Tempering: A process that reduces brittleness and increases toughness by heating a previously quenched or hardened material to a specific temperature and then cooling it. Normalizing: Similar to annealing, but the material is air-cooled. This process refines the grain structure and improves mechanical properties. Quenching: Rapidly cooling a material from a high temperature using water, oil, or air to increase hardness and strength. Ageing: Holding the material at a specific temperature to allow precipitates to form, improving mechanical properties. Cold and Cryogenic Treating: Cooling materials to very low temperatures to enhance wear resistance and dimensional stability. Decarburization: The removal of carbon from the surface of steel to improve ductility and toughness.</image:caption>

These free trading policies provide a framework for Vietnamese manufacturers to improve their access to foreign markets, reduce foreign trade barriers and tariffs, and enjoy preferential treatment in certain markets. This allows them to expand their businesses and maximize their profits. Additionally, these agreements can provide access to capital, technology, and other resources that can help support and expand manufacturing in Vietnam.  Access to foreign markets: By joining international trade agreements, Vietnamese businesses can access foreign markets without facing high tariffs and other trade barriers. This can help them expand their customer base and increase their revenue.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News &amp; Events - Future Trends in Manufacturing: Exploring Potential Technological Advancements - Heat pump technology</image:title>
      <image:caption>One of the main contributors to global energy consumption is the energy we use to heat indoor spaces, such as offices, homes, and shops. Most heating methods rely on burning coal, gas or oil, and therefore contribute to global warming. Heat pumps offer a promising alternative to this conundrum, so expect to see more heat pumps employed – both commercially and privately – as we move towards Net Zero emissions.  Heat pump technology transfers thermal energy from a cooler space to a warmer space using the refrigeration cycle. In other words, heat pumps force heat in from the ambient air outside, in order to warm an indoor space – essentially, refrigerators working in reverse.  What’s more, heat pumps can also function as air-conditioning systems, and are capable of cooling down indoor spaces in the summer months. Because the technology merely moves existing heat around, heat pumps are incredibly efficient, and can be a legitimate alternative to traditional heating systems. With the UK government offering financial incentives for households to install heat pumps, it’s no surprise that they are growing in popularity compared to other methods of heating.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News &amp; Events - Future Trends in Manufacturing: Exploring Potential Technological Advancements - VR fitness and technology</image:title>
      <image:caption>Virtual Reality (VR) is mostly known for its gaming or design applications. Yet, developers are increasingly looking for other applications for this popular technology given VR’s ease of use and accessibility. One area of particular interest is the fitness sector. The ability of VR technology to combine the fun of gaming with physical activity makes it a natural choice to help encourage people to get fit.  VR’s mainstream viability has been accelerated by the pandemic, which closed down gyms and fitness centres across the country. As hardware prices continue to decrease, expect to see more widespread use of VR technology in the fitness sector. Game developers are taking note, with more and more games – sorry, virtual exercise plans – in the making, slated to be released this year.  The impact of VR in encouraging public health could be hugely important, particularly given the rising number of people who are either overweight or obese, and suffering from health issues as a result. By allowing people to train in their homes and incorporating video game elements, we hope we’ll see a healthier UK going forward.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>For years, scientists and biologists have been aiming to find treatments for diseases such as Malaria and HIV. Both of these viruses are responsible for hundreds of thousands deaths globally. However, there are reasons to be optimistic that 2022 might be the breakthrough year in the fight against them.  2021 saw the announcement of a messenger RNA (mRNA) based malaria vaccine that is 77% effective. Drug manufacturers such as Moderna, are currently beginning trials for an HIV vaccine, which also relies on the mRNA technology. One silver lining of the ongoing pandemic might be that it heralds a golden era of vaccine development.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News &amp; Events - Future Trends in Manufacturing: Exploring Potential Technological Advancements - 3D-printing technology</image:title>
      <image:caption>3D-printing technology has been coming of age in recent years and its myriad potential applications are quickly exceeding initial expectations. Icon, a company based in Austin, Texas, is scaling up their 3D-printing technology to ‘print’ entire houses. Following a computerised blueprint, giant robots are used to construct the walls of a building by extracting layer upon layer of concrete mixture. Traditional construction is used for the roof, foundations, wiring and plumbing.  Specially in manufacturing itself, 3D printer can easily visualize the sample in manufacturing sector, which can help the in-house and outsourcing manufacturer better immagine the products. This method actually can save much of time for manufacturer to plan and optimize the manufacturing process. Printing walls is far faster than constructing them from bricks or wood and limits the labour cost of construction. Furthermore, Icon states that the innovative structures are highly energy efficient and are better equipped to withstand natural disasters. This type of robotic construction is expected to play a huge part in the construction industry going forward, with suggestions that the habitat-building technology might be used one day on the Moon and Mars.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>At $668 billion last year, up 22.6 per cent from 2020, Vietnam remains one of the most trade-dependent countries in the world; and the RCEP could provide new momentum for post-pandemic economic recovery, seminar participants agreed. Vietnam could see exports rise as most of its input materials are sourced from RCEP countries, said Nguyen Thi Quynh Nga, deputy head of the Multilateral Trade Policy Department under the Ministry of Industry and Trade. Instead of signing a free trade agreement with 14 other countries, RCEP applies the same set of regulations to all members, she noted.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>In an interview recently granted to the Vietnam Investment Review, lead specialist and group head for the ASEAN+3 Macroeconomic Research Office (AMRO) Luke Hong said Vietnam is a trade-oriented economy so the manufacturing sector will be one of its major drivers of growth. Provided that Vietnam can curb the pandemic and minimize travelling restrictions, particularly for factories and workers, Vietnam's manufacturing sector will continue benefiting from a recovery in external demand, resulting in output expansion, even amid the pandemic, he said. According to Hong, the service sector is another key to achieving a 6-6.5 per cent growth this year. Asked about AMRO’s policy recommendations for Vietnam to ensure strong growth, he said Vietnam needs to provide greater fiscal support, particularly micro-small, small and medium-sized enterprises and low-income households. Such support should be reviewed periodically to ensure its suitability and effectiveness.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>It’s cannot deny that the Covid 19 immediately attacked the manufacturing industry and make many manufacturers face struggles in human resources as well as maintaining efficiency in working. Of course, thanks to that, many manufacturers are now considering applying secure remote working technology that enable monitoring and controlling facilitate timely decision making. Although these are early and suddenly investments, they boost up the efficiency of manufacturers even when we return to new normal operations.  According to  Lucas Nguyen - VM Federation Engineer Manager, the new method in doing manufacturing brings a lot of interesting experience to him as well as his factory. Of course, they met some troubles on the very first day applying the modern monitoring methods. After short training as well as using every day helped them to improve the efficiency even they had faced the lack of workers during quarantine situation. All the automatic systems in precision engineering as painting, stamping, surface treatment, quality checking systems… support them quite well and even better than before the Covid situation. It’s also a good opportunity for VM Federation to look directly to the advantage software and machine for remote working. It especially help Lucas and his team to overcome the struggles of the human resource issues, it also helps them to quickly contact customers and build trust in them, as manufacturing outsourcing is one of the major business sectors of VMF.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“When we discussed this with Austrian businesses, we heard a question from them about when and how Vietnam would reopen,” said Vietnamese Ambassador to Austria Nguyen Trung Kien. “Trade cannot be done online. You can exchange information about products online, but you can’t negotiate online. Many Austrian businesses want to come to Vietnam, but they need to know about the requirements on quarantine and the process of visiting workshops, input material supplies and necessary contacts,” Kien explained. Necessity for Face-to-Face Meetings in Business “It’s obvious that if foreign businesspeople can’t enter Vietnam, they won’t be able to cooperate with Vietnamese businesses.

      <image:caption>According to Long, the UK is promoting trade cooperation with many other markets after exiting the EU, especially with emerging markets, so as to help British products be more competitive. He said that Vietnam’s businesses are capable of making high-quality products, but they are not sufficiently prepared to enter large markets. He believes that agriculture is the most promising field for Vietnam when penetrating the UK market. Vietnam should target the high-end market segment, providing high-quality agricultural products. Support for Exporters and Emphasis on Sustainable Development Meanwhile, Kien believes that to cooperate with European countries, Vietnam’s businesses should focus on green trends, sustainable development and environmental protection. Kien said many Vietnam businesses have successfully grabbed opportunities from the EVFTA (EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement) to export their products to Europe. The Vietnamese Embassy in Austria is always ready to help businesses boost exports, especially farm produce such as coffee, rice and coconuts. With EVFTA, Vietnam’s farm produce has great advantages.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News &amp; Events - Vietnam Economic Overview: November 2021 Highlights - Vietnam’s Manufacturing Sector Shows Robust Recovery</image:title>
      <image:caption>Vietnam’s manufacturing, retail and newly formed businesses posted positive growth in November, thanks to improved economic conditions according to the latest World Bank report. The industrial production index in November rose 5.5% from the previous month. This robust recovery reflects in part a resurgence in economic activity in the southern regions, including HCMC (up 13.3% from October), according to the World Bank’s Macro-economic Monitoring Report in Vietnam. Retail Sales Rebound Amidst Domestic Demand Recovery After recovering in November, the industrial production index surpassed the level of a year ago. Food processing, tobacco, textiles and clothing, rubber and plastics, and metals were the most dynamic sub-sectors, with double-digit annual growth rates. Domestic demand continued to rebound, with retail sales increasing by 6.2% month-on-month in November. However, retail sales are still 12.2% lower than in November 2020. Sales of services affected by social distancing measures recovered faster in the third quarter than sales of goods during the quarantine period (12.5% vs. 5.2% this month).</image:caption>

      <image:title>News &amp; Events - Vietnam Economic Overview: November 2021 Highlights - Trade Performance and Foreign Investment Drive Economic Momentum</image:title>
      <image:caption>The increase in net income can be attributed to improved economic conditions. Trade surplus reached $1.3 billion last month as commodity export growth increased from 6.1% year/year in October to 26.5% year/year in November, exceeding 24.1% growth in imports. The improvement in export performance could be attributed to a recovery in manufacturing, both in-house manufacturing and outsourcing manufacturing, especially in the high-tech sectors. Foreign direct investment (FDI) liabilities increased by 71.2% MoM in November after declining in October. This was mainly due to the recovery of investments in the manufacturing sector (+ 40.2% on a monthly basis). From January to November, the country attracted promised foreign direct investment worth $ 26.5 billion, which is comparable to the amount announced for the same period in 2020. Foreign direct investment payments continued to recover after sharply declining in the third quarter (+ 4.3% MoM). basis in November), but has not yet reached the level observed a year ago.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Vietnam stands to benefit after the EU and China suspended the Comprehensive Agreement on Investment (CAI). The CAI was supposed to be a significant bilateral treaty that would replace the 26 existing bilateral investment treaties between 27 individual EU Member States and China, thus providing a uniform legal framework for EU-China investment ties. Nevertheless, in May 2021, the European Parliament passed a resolution to freeze ratification of the (CAI) in response to Chinese sanctions on European human rights advocates. Worsening relations between the EU and China have called the future of the CAI – which has been over seven years in the making – into question.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Apart from the several free trade agreements Vietnam has signed, the EU-Vietnam free trade agreement (EVFTA) which took effect in August 2020, is one of the most significant for EU businesses. The FTA is expected to help increase Vietnam’s GDP by 4.6 per cent and its exports to the EU by 42.7 per cent by 2025. While the European Commission has forecast the EU’s GDP to increase by US$29.5 billion by 2035. At the regional level, Vietnam is now the EU’s second most important trading partner among all ASEAN members – surpassing regional rivals Indonesia and Thailand, in recent years. The growing trade between the EU and Vietnam also helps to solidify ASEAN’s position as the EU’s third-largest trading partner. Transport networks Vietnam’s location close to regional shipping routes and position in Asia allows manufacturers entering Vietnam to focus on exports. It has an approximately 3,200 km long coastline with around 114 seaports. The three largest seaports in Vietnam are in Hai Phong (North), Da Nang (Central), and Saigon (South). In addition, Vietnam has an extensive railway network: the Kunming (China) – Hai Phong (Vietnam) is 855 km long and remains important for cargo transportation. The transport ministry has also proposed an up-gradation to this railway line. While Vietnam’s infrastructure is still unmatched by China’s, the government has prioritized infrastructure development to facilitate economic growth.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The key element of a rebound roadmap for Vietnam was consistent policies throughout the country that would allow people to living safely with the Covid-19 virus. Seventy-eight per cent of American companies in Vietnam says the country remains a “positive” or “very positive” long-term investment destination. A November 15-17 survey by the American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham) in Vietnam also found 25 per cent of the respondents saying they expect to recover to normal operations by the end of this year, while two-thirds anticipate recovery by the first half of next year.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The key risks limiting companies’ operations now was international travel restrictions, according to 66 per cent of the respondents, followed by supply chain disruptions/costs (56 per cent) and domestic travel restrictions/complications (49 per cent). Many companies said they were facing labour shortages, mainly because they’d returned to their hometowns, according to 57 per cent of respondents. Fifty-six per cent said another factor for the worker shortage was that schools were closed and parents were struggling with managing work and online learning. In response, companies are offering flexible work schedules and providing assurances of vaccine access to attract more workers.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News &amp; Events - Vietnam's Economic Success: A Testament to Private Sector Growth and Investment - Vietnam's Economic Transformation</image:title>
      <image:caption>Over the last three decades, Vietnam has embraced the private sector, launched a stock market, and benefited from significant inward investment by large multinational corporations. This strategic approach has resulted in an impressive annual economic growth rate of 7-8 per cent. Recognition by International Media The UK’s Daily Mail has hailed Vietnam as one of the world’s economic success stories. According to the publication, Vietnam's economic policies and substantial foreign investments have made it an exciting investment opportunity for fund managers and British investors. As a result, many Asian investment funds now include Vietnamese companies in their portfolios. Additionally, three specialist high-risk trusts invest exclusively in Vietnamese companies, both listed and unlisted, with their shares traded on the London Stock Exchange. Impact of COVID-19 and Economic Resilience Like the rest of the world, Vietnam's economy was hampered by the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns. However, as restrictions have been lifted, the economy is back on track. This year’s growth is projected to be stable at 1.5 per cent, but forecasts indicate a return to pre-pandemic high growth rates next year.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Vietnam–U.S. trade could reach $100 billion for the first time this year, a significant increase from the $451 million recorded in 1995 when the two countries first established diplomatic relations. By the first eight months of this year, trade between the two countries had already reached $73 billion. Last year, the trade figure was $90.8 billion, according to Hoang Quang Phong, deputy chairman of the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI). Export and Import Trends In the past five years, Vietnam’s exports to the U.S. have grown on average by 230 per cent annually, while U.S. exports to Vietnam have increased by 175 per cent each year. Vietnam is currently the 10th biggest trade partner of the U.S., while the U.S. is Vietnam’s largest trade partner.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News &amp; Events - Vietnam's Push for Green FDI Signals a Shift to Sustainable Growth - Vietnam's Potential for Green FDI</image:title>
      <image:caption>It is clear that Vietnam has great potential for green FDI programmes, catching up with the global trend and requirements. Foreign investors will definitely demand more from local firms, with more innovative business models and strategies that meet both financial targets and sustainability goals. Rise of FDI in Vietnam For the last few years, Vietnam has risen as a safe destination for development with FDI. By December 2020, there were 33,070 FDI projects with a total value of 384 billion USD, in which 231.86 billion USD (60.4%) of the funding had been disbursed. The 2016–2020 period witnessed significant growth compared to previous periods despite the challenges from COVID-19, proving investors’ trust and confidence in the growth of Vietnam’s market, opportunities, and government support. Transition to Sustainable FDI The question now is, as the world is moving towards sustainability across all sectors of the economy, will the FDI flow be more towards sustainable industries that meet the urgent global demand as raised during COP26? The current three top sectors that receive FDI are Manufacturing and Processing, Real Estate, and Retail and Wholesale. According to the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the current climate finance in Vietnam is at only about 5% of the total bank loans (10.3 billion USD). The new government target towards a 9 per cent decrease in greenhouse emissions by 2030 will hence create a climate investment opportunity of 753 billion USD in the 2016–2030 period in Vietnam.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News &amp; Events - Vietnam's Push for Green FDI Signals a Shift to Sustainable Growth - Strategic Changes to Attract FDI</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Vietnamese government has outlined three key changes to attract more FDI in sustainable sectors: Prioritizing Innovative and Environmental-Friendly Sectors: This includes renewable energy, logistics, education, and tourism. Attracting FDI should balance export growth with investment in value-added products, using domestic raw materials, developing supporting industries, and training human resources. Focusing on Multinational Corporations: Attract FDI by forming clusters of industry linkages according to each value chain. In the short term, continue to attract FDI into industries like textiles, garments, and footwear while focusing on stages of creating high added value, associated with smart production processes and automation. Multi-lateralize and diversify FDI from potential markets and partners, focusing on strategic partners and leading developed countries with advanced technology and management. Suitability with Local Conditions: FDI attraction must align with the advantages, conditions, development levels, and planning of each locality, ensuring overall economic, social, and environmental efficiency. For sensitive areas related to national defense and security, FDI must ensure national sovereignty comes first. Additionally, monitor and prevent FDI flows into Vietnam with outdated technology that risks environmental pollution.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News &amp; Events - Vietnam's Small Steel Companies Grapple with COVID-19 Fallout in Q3 - Impact of COVID-19 on Small Steel Enterprises</image:title>
      <image:caption>As the domestic market has been heavily affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, many small steel enterprises in Vietnam experienced a sharp decline in profit in the third quarter of 2021. Pomina Steel Corporation's Financial Performance In its third-quarter financial statement, Pomina Steel Corporation (POM) said that its net profit dropped 78 per cent on-year to VNĐ3.5 billion (US$153,267). However, the company’s consolidated net revenue still rose 38.9 per cent to VNĐ3.1 trillion. The company's revenue growth was boosted by exports with revenue of VNĐ1.9 trillion, 4.5 times higher than the same period last year. The strong rise in exports offset the decline in domestic consumption that was down 55 per cent. For the first nine months of the year, Pomina recorded net revenue of VNĐ9.6 trillion, up nearly 32 per cent over last year, while posting a profit after tax of VNĐ205.9 billion. In the same period last year, it lost VNĐ127.8 billion. This year, the company set a target of VNĐ12 trillion in revenue and VNĐ600 billion in profit after tax. Thus, after nine months, it respectively completed 80.35 per cent of the revenue target and 34.3 per cent of the profit target.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News &amp; Events - Vietnam's Small Steel Companies Grapple with COVID-19 Fallout in Q3 - Rising Costs and Financial Struggles</image:title>
      <image:caption>Vietnam manufacturing company's production cost climbed sharply because of rising debts, transportation costs, and raw material costs. Việt Nam - Italy Steel JSC (VIS) also suffered a net loss of VNĐ92.3 billion in the third quarter of 2021, despite an 18.4 per cent increase in net revenue. In the same period of 2020, it recorded a profit of VNĐ26.7 billion. The reason was the sharp rise in the cost of goods sold, up 30.9 per cent over last year, eroding the company’s profit. In addition, financial revenue decreased by 42.2 per cent while interest expenses jumped by 21.6 per cent. As of September 30, the company still witnessed a net loss of VNĐ18.6 billion although net revenue rose 56.1 per cent year-on-year. It explained that the implementation of the COVID-19 prevention measures in many localities had delayed construction activities, freezing the output of steel products. Both its billet and steel mills had to stop operating at times, but the company still paid fixed costs. Also adding to the pressure, the prices of raw materials increased while the company could not sharply raise the price of semi-finished products, and inventories rose sharply, causing the company to pay extra costs for holding goods. Vicasa's Financial Decline Similarly, the financial statements of Vicasa (VCA) showed that its profit after tax slid 48 per cent in the third quarter of 2021, while revenue only decreased by 4 per cent.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News &amp; Events - Understanding the Differences Between Casting and Forging in Metal Fabrication - Casting: Shaping Metal Through Moulds</image:title>
      <image:caption>Casting involves pouring molten metal into a mould or die, allowing it to cool and harden, thereby taking the shape of the mould. It is ideal for mass production of parts with identical shapes. There are several types of casting processes, including die casting, permanent mould casting, and sand casting. Die Casting: Liquid metal is forced into a die under pressure, suitable for high-speed applications. Permanent Mould Casting: Molten metal is poured into a metal mould, creating stronger castings than die casting but can be challenging to remove from the mould. Sand Casting: Castings are made by pressing a pattern into a mixture of sand, suitable for intricate designs or large metal fabrication projects.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Kamala Harris’ historic visit to Vietnam has underscored the potential for deeper economic collaboration between the US and Vietnam. Recognizing Vietnam's strategic importance in the region, both nations have an opportunity to strengthen their partnership through enhanced trade and investment ties. However, realizing this potential will require significant policy changes and investment in Vietnam's economic development. Vietnam's Strategic Imperative Vietnam's interest in forging closer ties with the US is driven not only by economic considerations but also by geopolitical concerns, particularly regarding China. As Vietnam seeks to maintain a balance of power in the region, a strategic partnership with the US becomes increasingly attractive.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News &amp; Events - Strengthening Strategic Ties: How Vietnam Could Become a Key Trade Ally for the US - Promoting Sustainable Growth</image:title>
      <image:caption>Furthermore, Vietnam should shift away from currency undervaluation and adopt a strategy of "export discipline" to promote sustainable economic growth. This approach will encourage companies to compete on quality and innovation rather than relying solely on low prices. US Role in Supporting Vietnam's Development In parallel, the US can play a pivotal role in supporting Vietnam's development by deepening bilateral trade relations and providing assistance in education and infrastructure. Initiatives such as increasing student exchanges and offering low-interest financing for infrastructure projects can contribute to Vietnam's transition to a high-tech economy. Mutual Prosperity and Regional Stability Strengthening economic ties between the US and Vietnam not only benefits both countries economically but also fosters closer societal integration. By collaborating closely, the US and Vietnam can create mutual prosperity and enhance regional stability.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News &amp; Events - Maximizing Business Opportunities: Navigating International Trade Agreements in Vietnam - Vietnam's Integration into Global Trade</image:title>
      <image:caption>In 2007, Vietnam's accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) marked a significant milestone in its integration into the global economy. Since then, Vietnam has actively pursued bilateral trade agreements with countries worldwide and has become a party to several free trade agreements (FTAs) through its membership in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). Impact of Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) These FTAs play a crucial role in determining the tariffs and duties imposed on imports and exports, shaping the business landscape in Vietnam. For companies operating in Vietnam, understanding the opportunities presented by these trade agreements is essential for maximizing growth and competitiveness. One significant benefit of FTAs for Vietnam's economy is the opportunity to shift towards exporting high-tech manufacturing products and goods. Through diversified sourcing partners and cheaper imports of intermediate goods, Vietnam can enhance the competitiveness of its exports. Additionally, partnerships with foreign firms enable the transfer of knowledge and technology, driving higher value-added production.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News &amp; Events - Vietnam's Economic Competitiveness Surges According to World Economic Forum - Foreign Investment and Manufacturing Hub</image:title>
      <image:caption>Vietnam's strong economic growth of 6-7% rivals China, and its exports match its GDP value. The country has become a hub for foreign investment and manufacturing in Southeast Asia. Major companies like Samsung, LG, Olympus, and Pioneer have set up operations in Vietnam. As of September 20, Vietnam had 26,646 valid foreign-invested projects, registered at over $334 billion, with $13.25 billion in disbursed FDI in the first nine months of this year, up 6% year-on-year. Factors Behind Economic Growth Analysts from the World Bank and Brookings attribute Vietnam's economic rise to three main factors: embracing trade liberalization, implementing domestic reforms to lower the cost of doing business, and investing heavily in human and physical capital through public investments. Since 2010, Vietnam’s GDP growth has been at least 5% annually, peaking at 6.8% in 2017, and is expected to reach 6.9% this year. This growth has transformed Vietnam from one of the poorest countries to a comfortable middle-income nation, with GDP per capita rising from $230 in 1985 to $2,343 in 2017 (over $6,000 when adjusted for purchasing power).</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Vietnam's performance in the Global Competitiveness Report by the World Economic Forum (WEF) has shown a slight improvement, with the country receiving a score of 58.1 points. This marks a marginal increase of 0.2 points compared to its score in 2017. The Global Competitiveness Index: A Comprehensive Evaluation The Global Competitiveness Index is a comprehensive assessment of the factors driving productivity and prosperity in countries around the world. It evaluates a wide range of indicators, including infrastructure, institutions, macroeconomic environment, health, education, technology readiness, and innovation capability, among others. Implications of the Score Increase: Progress in Motion While the increase of 0.2 points may seem modest, it signifies positive momentum for Vietnam's competitiveness on the global stage. Even a slight improvement in the Global Competitiveness Index score reflects progress in key areas that contribute to the country's economic growth and development.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Vietnam's improved score could be attributed to ongoing efforts to enhance infrastructure, promote innovation and technology adoption, strengthen institutions, and invest in education and healthcare. These efforts are crucial for fostering a conducive business environment and attracting investment. Potential for Further Growth: Room for Improvement The marginal increase in Vietnam's Global Competitiveness Index score indicates that the country is moving in the right direction. However, there is still room for further improvement. Continued investment in infrastructure development, skills training, regulatory reforms, and fostering innovation will be essential for sustaining long-term competitiveness and driving economic growth. WEF's Role in Assessing Competitiveness: Informing Policy and Strategy The World Economic Forum's Global Competitiveness Report provides valuable insights into the strengths and weaknesses of national economies, helping policymakers and business leaders identify areas for improvement and formulate strategies to enhance competitiveness. Vietnam's participation in this global assessment underscores its commitment to benchmarking its performance against international standards.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News &amp; Events - Strategies for Sustaining Business Growth in Vietnam's Evolving Economy - Enhancing Capabilities for Growth</image:title>
      <image:caption>To maintain growth momentum and move up international value chains, businesses in Vietnam should focus on enhancing their capabilities in three areas: talent, technology, and governance, according to Ms. Dinh Thi Quynh Van, General Director of PwC Vietnam. She highlighted this during her speech at the Vietnam Business Summit 2018 held in Hanoi on September 13. Representing PwC Vietnam, the summit's knowledge partner, Ms. Quynh Van underscored Vietnam’s impressive growth in GDP, FDI inflows, workforce, and middle-income consumer base, which have consistently outperformed many regional peers. However, she pointed out that the country's advantage in low labor costs will diminish over the years due to new technologies and changing global trade dynamics. “In order to grow sustainably, businesses should invest in three key areas: technology, talent, and governance,” Ms. Quynh Van emphasized. She noted that Industry 4.0 demands businesses to transform into smarter, more efficient, and more risk-resilient entities. This transformation requires the right technologies, skilled personnel to operate them, and appropriate governance structures. “Businesses will need to take the lead in this process, but the government will also play a crucial role, especially in enhancing institutional capacity, skill supply, and digital connectivity infrastructure,” she added.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>During the World Economic Forum on ASEAN and the Vietnam Business Summit, PwC introduced its study “The Future of ASEAN - Time to Act” and released a special publication, “The Future of ASEAN: Vietnam Perspective.” This publication provides an in-depth look into Vietnam’s growth fundamentals and competitiveness compared to ASEAN peers. The Vietnam Perspective report identifies sectors with high development potential, such as financial services, consumer goods, and infrastructure—particularly transportation. For each sector, the report compares Vietnam to other ASEAN markets and highlights growth opportunities for investors. “We believe that developing these sectors will help Vietnam improve its regional position and enhance collaboration capacity,” Ms. Quynh Van explained. She emphasized that, in addition to 'hard infrastructure' like railways, roads, and ports, the financial services sector provides the 'soft infrastructure' necessary to boost commercial and investment activities. “Consumer goods hold significant potential for increased trade due to the large consumer bases and the proximity of ASEAN economies,” she noted.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Universal Robots, the first company to produce commercial collaborative robots (cobots), participated in VME 2018 to showcase a robot designed to work alongside human factory workers. Shermine Gotfredsen, general manager of Universal Robots in Southeast Asia and Oceania, explained that cobots democratize robotic automation, making it accessible for small and medium-sized enterprises and retrofitting older factories. This enables companies to start automating processes even if they are not ready for full Industry 4.0 solutions. The "Cobot Showcase" at VME 2018 aimed to help Vietnamese manufacturers understand cobots' capacities and applications.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News &amp; Events - Vietnam Emerges as Safe Haven Amid US-China Trade War - Japanese Investment in Vietnam</image:title>
      <image:caption>More Japanese businesses are investing in Vietnam to produce goods and then export them to the US. Last week, the Quang Ninh People’s Committee hosted 72 Japanese businesses exploring investment opportunities in sectors such as electronics, heavy industry, finance, property, and textiles. Nguyen Duc Tiep, from the Quang Ninh Investment Promotion Centre, highlighted Quang Ninh's Van Don Economic Zone as a burgeoning investment destination for Japanese firms looking to mitigate risks from rising production costs in China and the US-China trade war. JETRO Survey on Japanese Firms A recent survey by the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) of over 4,630 Japanese firms, including 652 in Vietnam, showed that 70% plan to expand their business in Vietnam, compared to only 48% in China. Additionally, 65.1% of the firms reported profits in Vietnam. As of July 20, Japan had 3,835 valid investment projects in Vietnam, valued at $55.86 billion, making it the second-largest foreign investor in the country. In the first seven months of the year, Japan's registered investment capital in Vietnam was nearly $6.9 billion.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News &amp; Events - Vietnam Emerges as Safe Haven Amid US-China Trade War - Vietnam as an Alternative Investment Destination</image:title>
      <image:caption>Professional services firm Dezan Shira and Associates noted that Vietnam could serve as an alternative to China for investors affected by US-China trade frictions. The country is already benefiting from "China plus one" strategies, where investors in China shift focus or expand to other countries to diversify risks and reduce labor costs. The growing trade war will accelerate this shift, especially for labor-intensive industries such as clothing, footwear, and electronics. Strategic Relocation to Vietnam JLL, a major US professional services and investment management firm, reported that China’s shift from basic, labor-intensive industries to higher-value activities has led to firms moving their production bases to Southeast Asian countries. Vietnam, with its strategic location, stands to benefit significantly from these moves. Concerns over the increasing trade tension between the US and China have prompted companies based in China to relocate to Vietnam to avoid high tariffs.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News &amp; Events - Global Analysts Bullish on Vietnam's Economic Growth Prospects - Export-Oriented Manufacturing as a Key Driver</image:title>
      <image:caption>Key drivers of this growth include the export-oriented manufacturing sector, which benefits from the government's efforts to further open trade and expedite the privatization of state-owned enterprises. Vietnam has become a manufacturing hotspot in Asia, particularly in electronics, due to its relatively cheap and large labor force, geographical advantages, attractive tax incentives, stable political environment, and open-door trade policies. This environment has attracted major industry players such as Samsung, LG Electronics, Canon, and Intel to establish manufacturing facilities in Vietnam. Sustained Momentum and Trade Agreements BMI expects this growth momentum to continue as the government pursues reforms to enhance trade freedom and economic efficiency. For instance, Vietnam is on its way to securing duty-free access to the EU market under the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement and signed the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership in March. These agreements are anticipated to boost foreign investment from partner countries, leveling the playing field for international and private firms and ensuring increased productivity and competitiveness in the economy.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Vietnam's industrial sector has recorded a remarkable growth rate, with the index of industrial production (IIP) surging by 10.5% year-on-year in the first half of 2018, according to the latest report from the General Statistics Office (GSO). Driving Forces Behind Vietnam's Industrial Expansion This growth rate surpasses the 7% growth recorded in the corresponding period of the previous year, indicating a significant acceleration in industrial activity. The GSO attributes this robust growth primarily to breakthroughs in the processing and manufacturing sector, which witnessed an impressive 12.7% increase, contributing 9.7 percentage points to the overall IIP. Key Players: Industries Fueling Vietnam's Economic Growth Nguyen Bich Lam, the General Director of GSO, highlighted the pivotal role of the processing and manufacturing industry in driving overall economic growth. He emphasized that this sector, along with agro-forestry-fishery and services, contributed substantially to Vietnam's gross domestic product (GDP) growth, achieving the highest growth rate in the first half of the year since 2011.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News &amp; Events - Vietnam's Market Economy Status: Opportunities and Challenges in Global Trade - Vietnam's Market Economy Recognition</image:title>
      <image:caption>As of now, 69 nations worldwide have recognized Vietnam's market economy status, offering significant opportunities for Vietnam to enhance its global investment and trade cooperation. Nihad Ahmed, the senior Vietnam economist at Spain-based Focus Economics, explores how Vietnam can effectively seize these opportunities. WTO Accession and Economic Liberalization Since joining the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2007, Vietnam has been on a path toward economic liberalization. Being granted market economy status (MES) by 69 nations signifies that Vietnam's prices are determined by open market competition rather than government intervention. This recognition has significantly boosted Vietnam’s economic performance over the past decade, enhancing export competitiveness and market accessibility, highlighting the major strides the country has made towards an open economy. ASEAN was the first entity to recognize Vietnam as a market economy in 2007. Australia and New Zealand followed suit two years later, and in 2012, the European Free Trade Association, comprising Iceland, Norway, Switzerland, and Liechtenstein, also awarded Vietnam MES recognition.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News &amp; Events - European Investment Funds Eye Lucrative Opportunities in Vietnam - European Investment Funds: Focusing on Vietnam's Dynamic Market</image:title>
      <image:caption>Vietnam's rapidly evolving market has become a focal point for European investment funds, drawn by its vibrant economy, youthful population, and burgeoning business landscape. In recent years, European funds have redirected their attention from traditional emerging markets to Southeast Asia, with Vietnam emerging as a top destination for investment. Tundra Fonder: Leading the Charge Leading the charge is Tundra Fonder, a Swedish investment fund specializing in frontier markets. Since 2014, Tundra Fonder has been actively involved in Vietnam through its Tundra Vietnam Fund.

      <image:title>News &amp; Events - Overcoming Regulatory Hurdles: Decree No. 116 and Vietnam's Auto Industry - Decree No. 116: Shaping Vietnam's Automobile Industry</image:title>
      <image:caption>Decree No. 116, issued on October 17, 2017, specifies conditions for the manufacturing, assembly, importation, and offering of warranty and maintenance services of automobiles. The decree requires importers to submit vehicle type approval (VTA) certificates for unused completely built-up (CBU) vehicles issued by competent overseas authorities starting January 1, 2018. This VTA requirement – designed to meet both safety and emission specifications – drew fierce reactions from auto firms operating in Vietnam, including foreign-invested ones. At the annual Vietnam Business Forum 2017, the Automotive Working Group noted that most auto enterprises in Vietnam were unable to find suitable overseas VTA certificates to match specifications set for unused CBU units, as each country’s government only tests and certifies against local regulations for domestic-usage vehicles – export vehicles are out of scope.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News &amp; Events - Overcoming Regulatory Hurdles: Decree No. 116 and Vietnam's Auto Industry - Ford and GM's Efforts</image:title>
      <image:caption>Ford, GM, and many others worked tirelessly to gain VTA from the authorities of Thailand – the leading exporter of automobiles to Vietnam in 2017 with 38,244 units, equivalent to over 39% of the total automobiles shipped to Vietnam. Ford Vietnam imports vehicles only from the US and Thailand. The firm worked with the US manufacturer to self-issue safety certificates for vehicles to be shipped to Vietnam, while teaming up with the UK Vehicle Certification Agency to grant emission certificates for US-made vehicles. For those ordered from Thailand, Ford Vietnam succeeded in obtaining a combined safety and emission certification from the Thai Department of Land Transport. Such regulations set for auto import in Decree No. 116 and Circular No. 03 have only been applied for the first time, making auto firms tentative to meet regulations and concerned about emerging obstacles. Prior to making large-scale unused CBU orders, Ford Vietnam plans to import one vehicle to test the duration of testing procedures and validate certifications. GM Vietnam is also striving to meet the regulations to import Colorado pickups and Traverse SUVs to Vietnam but has not confirmed when such shipments could arrive.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News &amp; Events - Overcoming Regulatory Hurdles: Decree No. 116 and Vietnam's Auto Industry - Domestic Production Push</image:title>
      <image:caption>There has been much recent discussion on how to increase the localization rate of made-in-Vietnam vehicles as the country faces a wave of made-in-ASEAN vehicles, whose localization rates reach at least 40% and are immune from import duties in 2018 under Vietnam’s commitment to the ASEAN Free Trade Area. According to the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the localization rate of nine-seat or under cars manufactured in Vietnam has reached around 10%, while in ASEAN countries it climbed to around 65-70%, and even up to 80% in Thailand. Localization rates indicate the state of Vietnam’s fledgling auto industry. However, over the past couple of decades, Vietnam has offered a number of tax and land-use-related incentives to overseas investors, hoping to facilitate the auto industry and bolster the growth of others such as metallurgy and electronics. Concerns and Efforts for Localization Expressing concern about the localization rate, economic expert Ngo Tri Long claimed that foreign-invested firms prioritize production and business operations that bring the most profits. “Vietnam’s auto industry will earn no profits if it leans completely on foreign-invested auto firms – which receive a lot of incentives as history has shown.” Once again, the question of boosting domestic automobile manufacturing and assembly became urgent in a meeting between the Government Office and auto firms in late February this year. “As a VAMA member, auto firms ought to pay due attention to the manufacturing and assembly of vehicles in Vietnam, instead of talking more about imports,” stressed Tran Ba Duong – chairman of the domestic-invested Truong Hai automobile firm (Thaco), the nationwide lead industry manufacturer.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>As the Doi Moi reforms took root, several key factors drove economic growth over the past two decades: Workforce Expansion: Vietnam has consistently added approximately one million people to its workforce annually. Urbanization: The shift from agriculture to urban employment has led to productivity gains. Efficiency Improvements: Technological advancements and management practices introduced by foreign enterprises have enhanced efficiency across various sectors. Embracing Higher Value-Added Industries: Contemporary Vietnam With a youthful population comprising 65% of its inhabitants under the age of 40, Vietnam is experiencing rapid development. As a full member of organizations such as the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), Vietnam has maintained high GDP growth rates, averaging 6.4% annually since 2000. Moreover, FDI inflows have remained robust, with annual investment capital consistently exceeding $10 billion since 2009.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News &amp; Events - Vietnam's Economic Renaissance: From Poverty to Prowess in Global Manufacturing - Trade and Competitiveness: Navigating Vietnam's Global Integration</image:title>
      <image:caption>Vietnam's integration into the global economy has been instrumental in driving productivity and innovation among local enterprises. Over the past two decades, the Vietnamese government has actively pursued trade liberalization and investment promotion efforts. Membership in ASEAN, bilateral trade agreements, and participation in free trade agreements (FTAs) with major economies have bolstered Vietnam's position in global value chains (GVCs). By leveraging its unique capabilities, Vietnam aims to become a pivotal player in GVCs within the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC). Looking Ahead: Opportunities and Challenges Vietnam is poised to sustain its economic growth trajectory, fueled by rising FDI and exports. However, challenges persist, particularly in improving higher education quality and reforming the financial system. Despite these obstacles, Vietnam's potential as a manufacturing powerhouse remains undeniable. As foreign investors increasingly flock to Vietnam, competition for favorable investment locations and skilled labor intensifies. Comprehensive understanding of Vietnam's diverse landscape and industries is essential for making informed investment decisions.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News &amp; Events - Vietnam's Economic Evolution: Resilience and Growth Through Decades - Historical Context and Phases of Development</image:title>
      <image:caption>Vietnam's economic journey since the national reunification in 1975 has been one of resilience, growth, and transformation. The country's development can be divided into two distinct phases: 1975-1986: Centralized Economy and Stagnation Following reunification, Vietnam established a centralized, state-subsidized economy. This period was marked by minimal growth and economic stagnation due to rigid state controls and limited market activities. 1986-Present: Market-Oriented Reforms and Rapid Expansion The introduction of the Đổi Mới (Renovation) reforms in 1986 marked a significant turning point. These market-oriented reforms aimed at transitioning to a socialist-oriented market economy, spurring rapid economic growth and international integration.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News &amp; Events - Strengthening Ties: Vietnam as a Crucial Strategic Partner for the U.S. - Strategic Importance of Vietnam</image:title>
      <image:caption>The threat posed by China should encourage the U.S. and Vietnam, once adversaries, to forge a tight security relationship. Vietnam, a country bursting with youthful energy and an average age of just 31, has a thriving capitalist economy that may achieve 10% growth this year despite living under single-party communist rule. Strategically positioned along the western side of the East Sea, Vietnam has several maritime disputes with its neighbors, especially China. Historical Context and Evolving Relations James Stavridis reflects on his experiences in Vietnam, both past and present. He recalls his time as a Navy officer in the late 1970s on a humanitarian mission rescuing Vietnamese refugees. Today, nearly 2 million Vietnamese-Americans live in the U.S., contributing significantly to the economy and society, particularly in California and Texas. Despite the traumatic history of the Vietnam War, relations between the two nations have warmed significantly, driven by mutual interests and a shared concern about China's ambitions in the East Sea.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News &amp; Events - Strengthening Ties: Vietnam as a Crucial Strategic Partner for the U.S. - Strengthening Military Cooperation</image:title>
      <image:caption>An improved U.S. strategy for engaging with Vietnam should include a robust military component, starting with joint exercises in the East Sea and inviting the Vietnamese navy to participate in larger U.S. training events. Vietnam’s participation in the U.S. Navy’s Rim of the Pacific exercise off Hawaii should be expanded. Additionally, the U.S. could provide Vietnam with more sophisticated military equipment, particularly maritime sensors, and donate more decommissioned Coast Guard and Navy vessels. Moving Towards Strategic Partnership Washington should aim for a strong informal cooperative security arrangement with Vietnam, rather than a full-blown defense treaty. High-level engagements should continue, building on recent diplomatic visits. Drawing Vietnam into stronger relationships with other U.S. allies in East Asia, such as Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, would also be beneficial. Addressing competing maritime claims among these nations could help focus on the common threat posed by China.</image:caption>
