Vietnam can be considered as a "jewel" of Southeast Asia in attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows, according to the view put forward by several international institutions.

Vietnam is speeding up the development of the digital economy, considering this a "breakthrough" step to promote the country's economic growth in the context of the 4th industrial revolution.

Under the sound leadership of the Party Central Committee and with the motto “Solidarity, discipline, active adaptation, safety, efficiency and economic recovery”, the Government and the entire country have overcome challenges and reaped achievements in all spheres, laying foundation for 2023 and subsequent years.

Vietnam’s gross domestic product (GDP) this year witnessed the highest growth of 8.02% for the past 11 years, with GDP in the fourth quarter increasing by 5.92% on-year, higher than the growth rate over the recent two years, the General Statistics Office (GSO) announced on December 29.
