Vietnam's economic outlook for the period 2026-2030

Important decisions on investment and business are being considered by the National Assembly.

Phan Duc Hieu, a full-time member of the National Assembly's Economic and Financial Committee, provides an overview of important decisions on investment, production and business issued by the National Assembly.

At VIF 2026, Phan Duc Hieu, a full-time member of the National Assembly's Economic and Financial Committee, provided investors with an overview of the important decisions on investment and business production issued by the National Assembly over the past year and being considered at the ongoing 10th Session of the 15th National Assembly. These are decisions that will impact the socio-economic situation at the end of this year and early next year.

According to the National Assembly deputies, the Seventh Session, which took place in early 2024, only 13 major decisions were passed by the National Assembly. By the Eighth Session, there were 22 major laws and resolutions. However, by the Ninth Session, the number of decisions had reached 68. The laws and major decisions passed by the National Assembly can be said to have increased exponentially.

At the ongoing Tenth Session, it is expected that 50 laws and 3 normative resolutions will be considered and passed; the remaining resolutions on other important issues such as decisions on investment policies to build a highway, a railway, a station, etc. are not included here.

VIF 2026 is expected to be a place to connect knowledge - strategy - opportunities, contributing to shaping Vietnam's new investment ecosystem in the period 2026-2030.

“This shows that the spirit of the National Assembly has changed a lot, it no longer follows the plan as before. Previously, on average, each year there were about 10-12 Laws and Resolutions considered and passed... But now it is to follow the requirements and to meet the needs of socio-economic development, there is no limit on the amount of work”, National Assembly Deputy Phan Duc Hieu clearly stated.

Economica Vietnam Director Le Duy Binh also said that looking back over the past 5 years, Vietnam has experienced many major shocks but still maintained macroeconomic stability, political stability and the confidence of both domestic and foreign investors.

“The economy’s endogenous capacity has been strongly enhanced. The confidence of domestic consumers, foreign investors and international markets in Vietnam remains firmly maintained. That is the foundation for believing in better growth prospects in 2026,” said Mr. Le Duy Binh.

Economica Vietnam Director Le Duy Binh said that looking back over the past 5 years, Vietnam has experienced many major shocks but still maintained macroeconomic stability.

Vietnam is a market of more than 100 million people, ranking 15th in the world in terms of size. This is a very large domestic market, capable of becoming a sustainable growth driver, similar to the way many countries in the region have shifted to relying on domestic consumption.

Although optimistic about the growth prospects for 2026, the Director of Economica Vietnam also noted the risks that could affect how high a growth rate is reasonable, such as monetary policy risks, inflation, public debt and credit dependence. Therefore, the process of macroeconomic management needs to be carefully calculated to both maintain the recovery momentum and control stability.

Towards the region's new manufacturing and financial hub

The event affirms Vietnam's position as an attractive investment destination in Asia.

VIF 2026 takes place in the context that Vietnam aims for GDP growth of 10% or more, GDP per capita reaching 5,400-5,500 USD, aiming to build a foundation to become one of the new production and financial centers of the region.

At the forum, there will be 4 discussion sessions. Specifically, session 1 has the theme: "Macro picture 2026 - full force for growth", experts analyzed GDP growth prospects, the impact of US tax policy, the global monetary easing trend and the possibility of Vietnam achieving the double-digit growth target.

The private business community shared their feelings and assessed the current investment and business environment in business development; while financial experts discussed the trend of capital flow movement, flexible monetary management policy, and exchange rate management in parallel with the double-digit growth target.

VIF 2026 is expected to be a place to connect knowledge - strategy - opportunity, contributing to shaping Vietnam's new investment ecosystem in the period 2026-2030. The event affirms Vietnam's position as an attractive investment destination in Asia, a place where innovative policies, pioneering enterprises and capital flows towards sustainable growth converge.

In session 2 with the theme: "Real estate in the new era - Policy impact, infrastructure and investment highlights", the focus was on clarifying the driving force to activate the new investment cycle of the real estate market, and at the same time discussing the capital structure orientation for the period 2026-2027 to avoid repeating the "speculation - freeze" cycle.

One notable content is the possibility that corporate bonds can return to the role of "financial flywheel" for the new growth cycle, or the market will need to rely on alternative capital channels such as REITs, trust funds and asset tokenization.

In addition, experts have also commented on real estate segments, especially the rise of the urban development model according to the TOD axis - associated with high-speed railways, airports and the North-South expressway - will be considered as a direction that can restructure the market, forming new growth poles, instead of focusing too much on Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City as at present.

Session 3 with the theme Financial Market - Pillar and driving force of Vietnam's growth focused on clarifying the role of the banking industry in the target of double-digit growth, not only as the "capital bloodline" of the economy, but also as a center of innovation, promoting digital transformation and spreading motivation to the small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

Session 4 with the theme "Upgrade points and big deals" will include 2 sub-sessions: Dialogue with management agencies, market members, IPO deal representatives and Investment Strategy 2026: Leading industries, key stocks and new cash flow behavior, providing a comprehensive view of the prospects of industry groups, market upgrade strategies, foreign capital flows and big deals that are reshaping the Vietnamese stock market.
