Access ASEAN: Invest Into Vietnam
With Vietnam positioned as a key beneficiary of the "China 1" strategy, we'll analyze how different presidential scenarios could influence trade relations, potentially leading to new barriers or restrictions. The session will also provide a forecast for the Vietnam stock market, highlighting stocks that are set for growth as the global economy recovers in the latter half of 2024. Finally, we'll discuss upcoming regulatory changes, including Vietnam's anticipated upgrade to "emerging status" and the removal of pre-funding requirements for foreign institutional investors.
Don’t miss this opportunity to understand the dynamics shaping Vietnam’s economic future and investment landscape.
