Vietnam's trade challenges and the resilience of FDI

Vietnam has been facing trade challenges, with declining export numbers and falling orders from the West. However, foreign direct investment (FDI) in Vietnam remains decent, as it reflects a medium to long-term perspective. Despite near-term trade difficulties, FDI continues to flow into Vietnam, with foreign investors building up factories. The country is also addressing challenges in the property sector through proactive measures, such as credit packages, in order to stabilize the market.
