Vietnam: Asia's new tiger economy
In this episode of MoneyWeek talks, Thuy-Anh Nguyen, director and product specialist at Dragon Capital, gives Andrew Van Sickle the inside track on Vietnam. Having grown up in Hanoi in the late 1970s, she has first-hand experience of the country’s extraordinary transformation from a war-torn planned economy to one of the world’s most dynamic emerging markets. By 2005, MoneyWeek was highlighting Vietnam as Asia’s other Communist dynamo. Now it is growing faster than China.
Thuy-Anh tells Andrew how liberalisation triggered a growth spurt, what Vietnam did to ensure the economy maintained momentum, and how it dealt with the Donald Trump administration’s tariffs earlier this year. We also explore some of the key holdings in Dragon’s investment trust, Vietnam Enterprise Investments Limited.
