in Vietnam

Currently, Vietnamese population is estimated at more than 98 million people. 70% of them are under 35 years old, which means that there is young population that, in addition, has a wide access to education. Together, it creates highly qualified labor force. At the beginning of 2022 labor force participation in Vietnam was the highest in Asia and equaled 67%. Vietnamese government and local authorities contribute a lot to education modernizing and development: for example, around 20% of the budget goes on education.

Vietnamese government provides different fiscal and non-fiscal incentives for foreign companies and investors that want to launch and run business in the country. Foreign companies are offered the following preferential tax rates: instead of established corporate income tax (ICT) that equals 20%, they pay 10%, 15% or 17%. Vietnamese government also offers customs duty incentive policies and land rental exemption policies that will allow cut costs for enterprises. Thus, it is extremely beneficial for companies from abroad to run business here.

Nowadays Vietnam has 21 commercial airports, 10 of which are international ones. They are equipped with modern facilities and connect Vietnam with numerous destinations around the world. It is the US, East Asia, several European countries, Australia, and others.

Vietnamese government took quite serious measures to integrate national economy in international trade. The first step in this process was becoming a member of the World Trade Organization, after that Vietnam became a member of various free trade agreements (like RCEP – Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership, or regional organizations such as ASEAN). Besides, to promote the investments between Vietnam and Europe, the government recently signed the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement with the European Union.

The World Bank ranked Vietnam 70th out of 190 economies in Doing Business 2020 report. Vietnamese score equaled 69.8, which is 1.44 points higher than in the previous year.

A significant improvement in this sphere includes the process of paing taxes. Since Vietnam’s General Department of Taxation modernized its IT infrastructure, enterprises can settle taxes much faster than before.
