The latest issue of Vietnam Briefing Magazine, titled “Advantage Vietnam: Optimizing Supply Chains and Accessing Key ASEAN Markets”, is out now and currently available to subscribers as a complimentary download in the Asia Briefing Publication Store.

In this issue:

  • Vietnam in a Rising ASEAN;
  • Vietnam in ASEAN Supply Chains; and
  • Vietnam’s Future in ASEAN.

Vietnam has been a member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) since 1995. In almost three decades with the organization, the benefits Vietnam’s membership has provided have been almost immeasurable.

Simplified cross-border trade processes, reduced costs of interregional trade through tariff elimination, and the freer movement of people within the region have benefited the economic group, including Vietnam.

Furthermore, foreign investors have been able to capitalize on this by diversifying their supply chains across the bloc, mitigating risks, and realizing greater value by utilizing complementary comparative advantages.

As Vietnam approaches its 30th anniversary being a member of the Southeast Asian trading bloc, these advantages will be compounded by increasing interest in the region and its capabilities as a ‘plus China’ base.

In this issue of Vietnam Briefing Magazine, we put the spotlight on Vietnam’s role in ASEAN and the interregional framework that keeps its member economies and foreign investment ticking along. We demonstrate Vietnam’s value proposition in regional supply chains as an important assembly base and access point to China, besides being well connected to other Southeast Asian markets and major global trade routes. Finally, we discuss Vietnam’s role in ASEAN’s future and foreign investment opportunities in the country’s ambition to elevate its standing in frontier sectors.
