Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc has asked relevant ministries and organizers to prepare carefully for the success of VEF 2019.

VEF 2019, which will be held in the context of escalating US-China economic tensions, Fed tightening policies, demographic challenges, debt dynamics and Industry 4.0, is expected to welcome more than 2,000 participants including policymakers, economists, academics, and representatives of businesses and international organizations.

VEF 2018 was held in January 2018 and attracted more than 1,500 delegates. The first VEF was held in June 2017.

VEF will provide a valuable and timely exchange platform for various stakeholders to discuss visionary initiatives and trends for sustainable economic development as Vietnam transitions towards a more productivity-driven and green growth trajectory to sustain its economic growth.
