Manufacturers from Vietnam are skilled in hand assembly and the country's labor force is known for its excellent workmanship as reflected in the country's high-quality and competitively priced product offerings. Over the years, Vietnam has emerged as one of Asia's most reliable suppliers of electronics, garments, textiles, footwear and home products.
Vietnam has one of the highest growth rates in the world according to the International Monetary Fund. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, its economy has expanded by 2.9 percent in 2020 and was projected to reach 6.5 percent in 2021. This growth, according to the IMF, can be attributed to the country's well-targeted support from the government, strong economic fundamentals and decisive containment measures.
Vietnam is also one of the most open economies to cross-border trade in Asia, with the trade representing 209 percent of its Gross Domestic Product in 2020, outpacing many of its neighbor countries.
The country provides a favorable sourcing destination for world markets, thanks to signed free trade agreements that ensure preferential market access and stable trade conditions, and guarantee a steady supply of competitively priced products and raw materials.
