This publication is published by the European Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam once a year and identifies the main issues of the year according to the fields of trade and investment which have a great impact on the Eurocham members in Vietnam, local business world, as well as entire society. 

In this publication, the chamber’s 18 Sector Committees highlight their international expertise and local experience to suggest practical reforms to the trade and investment environment. If taken on board, these recommendations can help Vietnam to rebound and recover from the pandemic and make it an even more open, competitive, and attractive market for foreign investors.  

These issues were discussed through three thematic dialogue sessions: Healthcare, Trade and Services, and Sustainable Economic Growth. Each session heard from representatives of major European enterprises, with the government providing detailed feedback on the points raised.
