The survey, released on Wednesday, showed a strong rebound in confidence among European businesses, underscoring Vietnam's resilience and growing appeal as an investment destination.
The index gained 7 points from the previous quarter, reflecting renewed investor confidence. EuroCham said European companies continue to view Vietnam as one of Southeast Asia's most attractive growth markets, with strong long-term potential.
According to the survey, 63% of respondents reported positive business conditions in the second quarter, and 69% expect conditions to improve further in the coming months. That’s an 11-percentage-point increase from the previous survey, driven by stronger business performance, rising new orders, and stable consumer demand.
54% of the surveyed companies regard Vietnam as a strategic market and core operating base, and 18% consider it a key driver of future growth. Those findings suggest that Vietnam is increasingly seen not only as a manufacturing hub, but also as a platform for supply chains, services, and business expansion across Southeast Asia.
EuroCham said continued administrative reforms, greater legal transparency, and consistent policy implementation will be key to translating this growing confidence into high-quality, long-term investment that will strengthen Vietnam's competitiveness.
