Production, export... driving growth
When it comes to Vietnam’s economic growth, many experts believe that production, export, and logistics services are the main drivers behind Vietnam’s economic growth in recent times.

Production and export have played a crucial role in developing industrial parks and special economic zones nationwide. These areas have attracted investment, created jobs, and contributed to local development.
