In 2026, Viet Nam’s Investment Law and related policies are set for a new round of revisions, expected to reshape the investment landscape and business models.

Amid profound shifts in global trade that are making the business environment more fragmented and less predictable, Viet Nam continues to be seen by foreign investors as a stable destination and a key link in global supply chains.

Viet Nam has also rolled out sector-specific policies to support businesses, such as investing in infrastructure and human resources for tourism, and enhancing legal transparency in agriculture, while policy stability and effective governance remain critical to improving competitiveness.

Meanwhile, Ho Chi Minh City is consolidating its position as Viet Nam’s leading economic hub and is emerging as an internationally scaled megacity. With an area exceeding 6,700 sq.km, a population of over 14 million, and accounting for around 25% of national GDP, the city is not only a destination for capital flows but is accelerating in sectors that will define competitiveness in the coming decade.

Vice Chairman of the municipal People’s Committee Nguyen Cong Vinh said the city has the capacity to become a gateway for capital, technology, governance standards, and innovation models into the ASEAN market of over 700 million people, while advancing key sectors such as trade, finance, AI, semiconductors, and high-quality logistics.

To realise these ambitions, the city has identified trade promotion as a key growth driver, adopting Plan No. 61/KH-UBND with 74 activities in 2026, including 55 domestic programmes, 11 overseas initiatives, and eight support activities. Led by the Department of Industry and Trade, and the Investment and Trade Promotion Centre, these efforts aim to strengthen linkages between domestic and FDI enterprises and international partners, helping to build stable and sustainable supply chains./.
