Many observers viewed Vietnam as one of the biggest, if not the biggest, beneficiary of the trade war between United States and China as companies and businesses either diversify or relocate from China to this dynamic and growing economy.
Organized by Fulbright School of Public Policy and Management in partnership with the ISEAS - Yusof Ishak Institute and MayBank Kim Eng, the Vietnam Forum 2019 took place on Friday, 1 November at Orchard Hotel, Singapore.
To make sense of Vietnam's economic and business prospects in the midst of global uncertainties, Vietnam Forum 2019 will focus on the performance of three increasingly important sectors of (i) banking & finance; (ii) infrastructure & energy; and (iii) real estate.
The one-day forum brought together experts from both public and private sectors working in policy-making and government institutions as well as prominent players in banking and and finance industries of Vietnam.
Dr. Vu Thanh Tu Anh, leading the Fulbright School delegates, delivered the opening remarks, summarizing "Recent political and economic trends in Vietnam". Lecturer Nguyen Xuan Thanh presented a paper on "Vietnam's Banking Reforms: What to expect?" and Dr. Le Viet Phu attended the panel discussion on infrastructure and energy with his paper on "The renewable energy sector in Vietnam: Trends and challenges."
