At the seminar, leaders of businesses and investment funds as well as Vietnamese State management agencies discussed measures and orientations to attract more financial resources for socio-economic development, especially the building and development of financial centers in Vietnam.
Leaders of U.S. investment funds held that amid fluctuations in the world geo-political and economic situation, Vietnam has been evaluated by international organizations as a bright spot in investment attraction with many favorable factors for the development of a modern financial market towards the formation of a financial center capable of linking with financial centers in the region and around the world.
They pointed to Vietnam’s advantages in stable macro-economy and political situation, favorable location, improved investment and business environment, extensive international economic integration, fast digital economic development and innovation, and expanding economic scale and financial market.
They advised Vietnam to learn from international experience while choosing the model and method of building its financial center which is compatible with international practices and suits the country’s real conditions.
Addressing the event, PM Pham Minh Chinh said that the elevation of the Vietnam - U.S. relations to a comprehensive strategic partnership during U.S. President Joe Biden’s visit to Vietnam has opened up new trade and investment opportunities between the two countries.
