Despite COVID-19, Vietnam's economy has remained resilient. Let's take a look at its good signals in May 2021.

The Covid-19 outbreak caused great disruptions to the Vietnam real estate market in the year 2020 to 2021. However, production and business activities have since gradually regained growth momentum, and the Government's policy to push socio-economic recovery and development has shown positive effects since the beginning of this year. In the first 9 months of 2022, Vietnam attracted about US$15.4 billion in foreign investment, up 16.2% over the same period last year. Real estate investment continues to rank second among sectors attracting the most foreign direct investment with over US$3.5 billion received, accounting for 18,7% of the total amount of investment. GDP in the first nine months of 2022 increased by 8.83% over the same period last year, the highest growth in the past decade. This shows that Vietnam is still among the markets with great potential for investment in the Asia Pacific region.

The lifting of Covid-19 related restrictions has been carefully made in most cities in Vietnam to resume their economic growth from October 2021 onwards.

The global serviced office market is expected grow from $27.83 billion in 2021 to $33.30 billion in 2022 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.7%. The growth is mainly due to the companies resuming their operations and adapting to the new normal while recovering from the COVID-19 impact, which had earlier led to restrictive containment measures involving social distancing, remote working, and the closure of commercial activities that resulted in operational challenges. The market is expected to reach $64.06 billion in 2026 at a CAGR of 17.8%.

The Vietnamese economy is actively recovering with a rebound in industrial production and retail sales, continued trade surplus and stabilized credit growth, a World Bank (WB) update says.

By cafef.vn, HCMC plans to reopen all economic activities after January 15, 2022 in a three-phase roadmap through a so-called “Covid-19 card”. In addition, the City also offers many solutions to support enterprises recover their business and manufacturing after the Covid-19 pandemic.
