Business Environment

Canada and Vietnam have an established and growing trade and investment relationship. Vietnam is evolving from a centrally planned economy to one that is more market driven and is among the list of most attractive markets in the world by the United Nations Conferenece on Trade and Development (UNCTAD). The Vietnamese economy provides ample opportunities for Canadian companies due to the improving market conditions and growing GDP. Canada’s trade with the country tripled in the past five years. Opportunities exist for Canadian trade and investment in all sectors. Developing and improving power supply, especially to the urban and industrial areas is currently a major priority of the government. Vietnam is an attractive destination for FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) in the Southeast Asia region, as it encompasses favorable demographics and robust domestic demand.
