Shantanu Chakraborty, Country Director of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in Vietnam, said, “Economy maintained a strong momentum in the first half of of 2026, so definitely strong signs of resilience despite all the global, especially external challenges. Growth has been supported in Vietnam by industry, construction, services, exports, FDI, public investment, and domestic demand. So overall it's a broad-based kind of a growth which also shows the strength of its key growth drivers.”
Switzerland-based Aquis Capital applauded the resilience and broad-based growth of the Vietnamese economy, noting that rising corporate profits and record FDI inflows are reinforcing Vietnam’s strategic position in global supply chains. In addition, the expansion of Vietnam’s domestic market and expectations of an FTSE upgrade are opening up attractive prospects for medium- and long-term investors.
According to the UK’s MoneyWeek, Vietnam is emerging as an attractive, highly diversified investment destination, underpinned by strong economic growth, reasonable market valuations, and far-reaching reforms.
US global investment management firm VanEck and Hong Kong-based Global Sources commended Vietnam’s appeal, citing its policy stability, strategic location, human resources, international integration, and sustainable development orientation.
