(Central News Agency reporter Yang Yao-Ju, Taipei, 6th) The Vietnam Economic and Cultural Office in Taipei stated that Vietnam is committed to improving its investment environment and has become a new strategic destination for global capital, especially as Vietnam is upgraded to a Tier 2 emerging market. With capital entering a new growth cycle, Vietnam is undergoing a series of legal reforms, aiming to be upgraded to an MSCI emerging market by 2030.
The Vietnam Economic and Cultural Office in Taipei issued a press release pointing out that after 40 years of reform and opening up, Vietnam has entered a critical stage, aiming to become a high-income country by 2045, shifting its development model towards improving quality, efficiency, and innovation, and further integrating into the global economy. In 2024 and 2026, multiple strategic resolutions will be implemented, focusing on science and technology, digital transformation, private enterprise development, energy security, and talent cultivation, directly improving the investment environment.
The Vietnam Economic and Cultural Office in Taipei stated that under global supply chain restructuring, Vietnam has competitive costs, a superior geoeconomic position, and a stable political environment, while high economic growth lays the foundation for local investment opportunities. Vietnam's GDP growth rate is expected to reach 8.02% in 2025, ranking among the top in the region and globally. Per capita income is approximately US$5,026, officially placing Vietnam among upper-middle-income countries.
The Vietnam Economic and Cultural Office in Taipei emphasized that Vietnam's total import and export volume exceeds US$930 billion, with a trade surplus of over US$20 billion. Vietnam's position in the global supply chain is increasingly solidified, especially in manufacturing and export industries, and Vietnam is among the top 15 developing countries attracting the most foreign direct investment globally. This capital is shifting towards high-value-added industries such as technology, smart manufacturing, and the digital economy.
The Vietnam Economic and Cultural Office in Taipei highlighted that in September 2025, the stock index provider FTSE Russell officially upgraded Vietnam's stock market to a "Tier 2 emerging market." This is a significant milestone that also unlocks the potential for massive capital inflows from global investment funds (especially ETFs and index funds) and is regarded as the beginning of a new cycle of capital attraction.
The Vietnam Economic and Cultural Office in Taipei also stated that Vietnam is improving its market structure, reforming its system, and modernizing its market infrastructure. One key reform is simplifying investment procedures and reducing market entry barriers, implementing non-pre-financing mechanisms for foreign investors, and relaxing shareholding limits and bilingual information disclosure requirements, significantly enhancing market accessibility.
The Vietnam Economic and Cultural Office in Taipei pointed out that in the medium to long term, Vietnam's goal is to be upgraded to an MSCI emerging market by 2030 and join higher-tier emerging markets. In the future, Vietnam will undertake a series of legal reforms, increase foreign shareholding ratios, develop financial products, and improve corporate governance standards. If these reforms are implemented as planned, they will enable Vietnam's stock market to achieve leapfrog growth in scale and quality. (Edited by Yang Kai-Hsiang) 1150506
