Vietnam Macroeconomic Commentary: March 2025

Macro Report - March - 2025

Vietnam’s GDP growth dipped to 6.9% for the first quarter of 2025 after ending 2024 with 7.1% growth.

Vietnam Macroeconomic Commentary: November 2024

Macro Report - November - 2024

We have been advising investors for months that Vietnam’s economy has been supported by an extraordinary surge in exports to the US this year, which boosted the country’s manufacturing sector. However, the growth of consumption by Vietnamese consumers has been fairly modest, which is reflected in modest revenue and earnings growth of consumer-facing companies in […]

INVESTMENT RISKS

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. The value of shares and the income from them can go down as well as up as a result of market and currency fluctuations and investors may not get back the amount they originally invested.
