Not only can the new FTA and TPP accelerate economic growth and reform, but Vietnam will also become more open to foreigners, which is conducive to doing business in Vietnam. Vietnam central has embarked on the economical bandwagon.

VIỆT NAM STEPS UP EXPORT TO ACHIEVE US$550-BILLION TARGET
Việt Nam is intensifying efforts to sustain export momentum in the second half of 2026 as the country works towards its target of US$550 billion in export revenue for the year, despite continuing uncertainties in global trade.

ASIA POWERS VIETNAM’S SHRIMP BOOM, LEAVING THE WEST BEHIND
In the first half of 2026, Vietnam's shrimp exports surpassed the US$2.3 billion mark, driven largely by booming demand from China and a lobster craze. But behind that growth figure lies a lopsided picture: Asia is carrying the load, while the U.S. and Europe have yet to break out.
