Panel discussion 2 – New opportunities and challenges

Over the past few years, the two development key growth engines for the Vietnam economy have been exports and FDI. The world export map has seen Vietnam surge ahead in electronics, garments and textiles, footwear and agricultural products. However, many of these industries have seen their manufacturing chains disrupted by the pandemic.  Yet, in the wake of Vietnam’s effective vaccine rollout, it is expected that the growth cycle will return by the first quarter of 2021.

In this panel discussion, leading business owners and CEOs will share their views on the opportunities and challenges that will open up when international trade picks up, as well as the sustainable strategies for value-added products from Vietnam.
