According to Mr. Nguyen Duc Tam, Deputy Minister of Planning and Investment, Vietnam’s economy in 2024 has recovered steadily, with GDP growth likely to reach 6.8–7% this year. Foreign direct investment over the past 10 months totaled more than 27 billion USD, up nearly 2% from the previous year.
According to KPMG, Vietnam's M&A market saw 220 transactions worth 3.2 billion USD in the past nine months, up 46% increase in transactions from the same period last year.
Dr. Nguyen Cong Ai, Deputy General Director of KPMG Vietnam's Deal Advisory Department, said: "Artificial intelligence has become a wave, and the growth of each enterprise depends on how they utilize AI. Its use is not to replace human resources within the company but to increase labor productivity. How a business applies technology will determine the future of both buyers and sellers.”
