Discover how to thrive in a changing global economy at our H2 2024 Global & Vietnam Outlook.

The global economic in 2024 is marked by a complex interplay of factors. While there has been some improvement in the near term, the growth is still subdued, with downside risks such as geopolitical tensions, trade fragmentation, and climate-related disasters. While challenges remain, Asia, particularly the ASEAN region, are demonstrating promising momentum and poised for healthy growth rates.

Vietnam, with its strategic location and growing economy, is well-positioned to capitalize on these regional trends. However, it also faces unique challenges and uncertainties in the face of evolving global trade dynamics.

Join BritCham Vietnam and Standard Chartered to explore these dynamic trends, gain valuable insights, and position yourself for success in the evolving global landscape.

______________

General Practices (GP) are an integral part of the primary care system where all the initial healthcare need is managed, treated and monitored. Then the GP will filter and refer patients to the next level of care and/or the specialist care as appropriate. General practitioners (GP doctors) play an essential role in managing the population’s healthcare need in the community throughout their life span. The GP doctors also manage, follow up and care for the patients together with the specialist care before, during and after the hospitalisation in full circle.

In the United Kingdom, the primary care system is centred around the General Practice clinics, ones which are located in community, and serve as a “gatekeeper” of the healthcare system. GP clinics have an established history of development within the British healthcare system. Understanding the model and the roles of General Practice in the British primary care system will provide Vietnam with the knowledge and experience in building, developing and managing the general practices within the national primary care system.

“The British GP Model” scientific workshop is organised by the British Chamber of Commerce Vietnam, and co-organised by Modality Partnership and the Hong Anh Medical Campus at Sofitel Saigon Plaza Hotel in Ho Chi Minh City from 08:00-12:00, on April 26, 2024. The scientific workshop aims to share the knowledge and experience about the British GP model with those working in the healthcare leadership, care management, healthcare facility operation, research, and training, particularly in primary care. The workshop will also serve as a platform to exchange, partner, and share knowledge, experience, and vision between the Vietnamese and British healthcare leaders and experts.

For instance, in recent years, Vietnam has seen a number of UK brands entering and expanding their footprint in Vietnam such as Jo Malone, Lush and Cyden.

The Department for Business and Trade, in collaboration with Britcham Vietnam, Dezan Shira & Associates and Redfern Digital, is pleased to host this webinar that will showcase the lucrative opportunities that the Vietnam market has to offer to UK businesses in the consumer retail sector. This webinar will also provide comprehensive insights into local economic and consumer trends, and highlight market entry strategies whilst illustrating current successful UK exporters.

We cordially invite UK businesses that are already exporting to Vietnam, as well as those seeking to explore this market for the first time, to join this webinar and learn how to penetrate and grow in the market.

Purpose of the Masterclass:

Companies are always thinking about the future. They have missions, visions and core values. They set goals every year and meticulously measure them against what they actually achieved. There is a sense of pride being part of something and creating a future with a company that is forward thinking. BUT, when do we think of ourselves in the same way? How many of us have a personal mission, vision or have discovered our core values? As the old saying goes, if you don’t know where you’re going, how will you ever get there?

Oprah Winfrey, Katy Perry, Lilly Singh and Steve Harvey are all fans of Vision Boards. They all swear that their vision boards helped them stay focused and passionate about what they wanted to achieve. Come to learn the scientific basis for designing and generating your own vision board.

A fantastic session to help people develop both their career and personal goals with the momentum to take charge of their own learning and OWN their future.

Learning Outcomes:

• Understand the basics of neuroscience and positive psychology with regards to visions
• Learn the four step process to creating your vision that will stay with you through life.
• INZAMINE: Complete your wheel of life to identify which aspects of your life you most want to work on – both professionally and personally
• VISUALISE:Go through an activity that will help you visualise the professional and personal future that you would like for yourself
• GENERATE: The key areas that you want to excel in and put some colour around how that will look
• CREATE: your vision board and the steps to converting your vision into reality

Do you ever find yourself wondering how to differentiate yourself as a leader? Or juggling a lot, and concerned about your future direction? Or hoping to explore more opportunities but are not sure how to get started?

This thought-provoking session will put you back in touch with the inner you and help you craft a strategy for creating and building your own personal brand so that you are clear about what you represent and know how to showcase yourself authentically. This will enable faster decision-making as you will realise what is most important to you and focus on this. It involves coming up with your own personal values and looking at how you communicate them to the world, as well as thinking about the goals that represent those values to you. Finally, you leave with ways to continue to enhance your personal brand, leading to greater visibility and greater confidence to achieve your ambitions.

Course Objectives:

• Work out the core values that represent you in what you do every day
• Build your own personal brand statement with a tagline and phrases that are authentically you
• Understand how your personal brand is connected to your core values
• Identify the intrinsic goals that underpin your brand
• Work out how to build habits that further your goals and therefore your personal brand
• Learn how to story tell your core values in a way that makes others remember you

Join us for our H2 2023 Global & Vietnam Outlook, where we will discuss the economic trends and strategies for navigating the current landscape.

While the US and Euro economies show signs of slowing down, they have so far avoided recession. However, they face stubborn inflation, which policy makers must balance in the context of a slowing economy. On the other hand, the recovery in China has lost momentum, but Asia – particularly the ASEAN region and India – is witnessing good momentum and should generate healthy growth rates.

Additionally, inflation in Asia appears to be moderating, presenting attractive opportunities for corporates and investors.

(please note that there will be Vietnamese interpretation for this webinar)

Set in the Asia Pacific, the Tourism Metamorphosis theme of the 3rd Critical Tourism Studies Asia Pacific conference engages with the broad notions of metamorphosis – as a heuristic and conceptual touchstone. Empirical and theoretical insights that engage with the metamorphosis of tourism geographies will contribute to new ways of thinking, feeling and doing tourism research and practice.

Dialogues at the 3rd Critical Tourism Studies Asia Pacific conference will be bold, pushing the boundaries of tourism research into novel and challenging frontiers of scholarship. Contributions will transition from narratives of ‘troubled times’ and simplistic entreaties such as ‘building back better’, towards substantive queries into how creative destruction is afoot.

We welcome your attendance and look forward to seeing you there.

A report by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on October 2022 highlighted many “headwinds” against the global and Vietnamese economies, while Vietnamese reports say GDP growth in 2022 of 8.03 % – the highest rate in the region and a regional and global bright spot, against few difficulties.

Join BritCham and EuroCham at the special luncheon to gain more insights on the development picture of Vietnam in 2022 and forecast the 2023 performance:

• Good control of exchange rate and inflation, significant trade surplus and what else are key drivers for the good economic performance of Viet Nam in 2022.
• Can high GDP growth be maintained in 2023 when the prospect of the global economic downturn is ahead, with reduced demand for exports from Viet Nam while there is not yet known if any improvement in the capital expenditure for infrastructures can be made? In addition, foreign reserves and a large number of lay off are also challenges for the policymakers in Vietnam in 2023.
• What are possible policies to overcome these challenges to realize sustainable economic recovery?

A wave of optimism came with the start of 2022 as domestic and border restrictions relaxed, regional and global economies rebounded, raising hope of an imminent return to a semblance of normality. The ongoing Ukraine war, monetary policy tightening in global economies and sustained supply chain disruptions due to military conflict and the pandemic could lead to disorderly market adjustments.

Hear from our Global Research team as they share their views on the Global and Vietnam outlook for the second half the year, including the following highlights:

• The risks to the global economic outlook have increased further but recession calls are premature for now
• Global monetary tightening has accelerated as efforts to control inflation increase
• Elevated food and energy prices remain a threat, especially for large parts of EM
• Financial markets are more accurately reflecting these risks compared to last quarter

A wave of optimism came with the start of 2022 as domestic and border restrictions relaxed, regional and global economies rebounded, raising hope of an imminent return to a semblance of normality. The ongoing Ukraine war, monetary policy tightening in global economies and sustained supply chain disruptions due to military conflict and the pandemic could lead to disorderly market adjustments.

Hear from our Global Research team as they share their views on the Global and Vietnam outlook for the second half the year, including the following highlights:

• The risks to the global economic outlook have increased further but recession calls are premature for now
• Global monetary tightening has accelerated as efforts to control inflation increase
• Elevated food and energy prices remain a threat, especially for large parts of EM
• Financial markets are more accurately reflecting these risks compared to last quarter

Vietnam is rapidly developing and currently ranks first among emerging logistics market. The country’s logistics industry has been boosted by the country’s booming GDP, rising manufacturing, and e-commerce sectors. Indeed, logistics has been among the fastest-expanding sectors in the country, accounting for around 2.5% of the total GDP. By 2025, the growth rate of this sector was forecast to outpace the growth of Vietnam’s GDP.

In addition, the rapid adoption of e-commerce by the country’s young demographic has increased the demand for expansion in logistic services. Vietnam aims to develop itself as an export-driven economy. By establishing economic zones and industrial parks, the government is proactively taking steps to foster manufacturing investments, which is another reason why Vietnam’s logistics industry has strong potential.

Vietnam has undergone a substantial change in its economic structure in the last decade, shifting from agriculture to the industry and services sector. Since 2006, the service sector has had the highest share in the GDP distribution, followed by industry and construction, and agriculture.

The supporting industries focus on the supply of raw materials, spare parts, and components to manufacturing industries, thus becoming a substantial determinant of the industrialization process of Vietnam. With the potential of becoming “the next Asian manufacturing hub”, driven by an abundant labour force and low labour cost, the FDI capital inflow into Vietnam in 2021 reached US$31.15 billion, with 58.2% going towards the manufacturing and processing sector.

However, to maintain the FDI interest in middle and long-term local investments, it is crucial to develop a sustainable supporting industry system by increasing the localization rate and maintaining a stable supply of raw materials, components, and spare parts for the industrial sectors. High dependence on imports for the supporting industries, will lead to higher risks and increase the costs for enterprises.

Join us on another episode of our Sector-focused Webinar Series: Vietnam Supporting Industry to have an overview of the supporting industry in Vietnam and what to expect from changes in regulations and tax incentives for companies within the industry itself.

Viet Nam’s Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT) is developing the Viet Nam National Trade Repository (VNTR) with support from the UK Government that will be linked to the ASEAN Trade Repository (ATR) (https://atr.asean.org) and be congruent with requirements under the ASEAN Trade in Goods Agreement (ATIGA). In this regard, the VNTR covers the 9 mandatory topics required by ATIGA Article 13 and has a specific focus on non-tariff measures (NTMs) based on ASEAN Free Trade Agreements (FTAs).

This will be a free-to-access online information platform that provides all the latest trade regulations and information that businesses need to export and import to and from Viet Nam. The VNTR will contain important information, such as preferential tariffs under FTAs which Viet Nam is a party to, Rules of Origin for each commodity under different FTAs, NTMs applied to imported – exported goods, as well as trade and customs related laws and regulations, etc. which are searchable through a search function using the Harmonized System (HS) Codes.

The VNTR is scheduled to be launched shortly and will continue to be updated with latest information and data to best serve the business community, both inside and outside Viet Nam, for an improved business environment.

Agenda

Viet Nam’s Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT) is developing the Viet Nam National Trade Repository (VNTR) with support from the UK Government that will be linked to the ASEAN Trade Repository (ATR) (https://atr.asean.org) and be congruent with requirements under the ASEAN Trade in Goods Agreement (ATIGA). In this regard, the VNTR covers the 9 mandatory topics required by ATIGA Article 13 and has a specific focus on non-tariff measures (NTMs) based on ASEAN Free Trade Agreements (FTAs).

This will be a free-to-access online information platform that provides all the latest trade regulations and information that businesses need to export and import to and from Viet Nam. The VNTR will contain important information, such as preferential tariffs under FTAs which Viet Nam is a party to, Rules of Origin for each commodity under different FTAs, NTMs applied to imported – exported goods, as well as trade and customs related laws and regulations, etc. which are searchable through a search function using the Harmonized System (HS) Codes.

The VNTR is scheduled to be launched shortly and will continue to be updated with latest information and data to best serve the business community, both inside and outside Viet Nam, for an improved business environment.

As the end of the financial year is approaching, many corporations may encounter difficulties in the process of showing the authorities transparency in tax reporting documents and compliance with all tax regulations. Many questions and uncertainties are raised around the procedures of tax finalising and how to minimize costs and risks.

With escalating documentation requirements, sizeable penalties, an aggressive approach to enforcement by the Vietnamese tax authorities and a focus on corporations paying their fair share of tax, never before have companies operating in Vietnam faced so much scrutiny and challenge of their transfer pricing policies. The need to ensure full compliance with reporting obligations and put in place a transfer pricing strategy that is fit for purpose is more important than ever before.

In this light, BritCham Vietnam presents the third episode of our Vietnam Sector-Focused Webinar Series on TAX FINALSATION with Ms Nguyen Thu Phuong – Director, Tax Services at Grant Thorton and Mr Do Vu Bao Khanh – Senior Manager at Grant Thornton. Join our panelists to gain insights on the most up-to-date information and compliance regulations on tax finalisation as well as transfer pricing.

OECD, in collaboration with business associations in Viet Nam AmCham, AusCham, BritCham and EuroCham, is holding a series of webinars on building resilient supply chain in the context of Viet Nam.

The first webinar “Integrating Responsible Business Conduct to Create a Resilient Garment Industry” will include a brief presentation of the OECD’s Garment & Footwear Due Diligence Guidance (which will be launched in Vietnamese during the webinar), how it can help Vietnamese businesses become more resilient and future proof their place in the global supply chain.

COVID-19 has amplified the voices from many stakeholders on the importance of rethinking global supply chains. Adopting Responsible Business Conduct (RBC) standards can help businesses become more resilient when exposed to Global Value Chains (GVC) disruptions. Responsible Business Conduct (RBC) means integrating and considering environmental and social issues within core business activities, including throughout your supply chain. A key element of RBC is risk-based due diligence – a process through which businesses identify, prevent, and mitigate their actual and potential adverse impacts on people and planet – and account for how those impacts are addressed.

The webinar is bringing together key speakers in the garment industry including policy makers, business associations, global and domestic companies, and trade union representatives. A Business Consultation session will be available where the companies and manufacturers can share experiences and ask questions directly to the OECD and other speakers.

Language: Vietnamese-English simultaneous interpretation will be available.

Agenda:

Speakers:

–       Ms. Thuy Nguyen, Vietnam Industry Agency, Ministry of Industry & Trade

–       Mr. Nguyen Thai Duong, Vice President, Viet Nam Textile Union

–       Ms. Dorothy Lovell, Lead, Due Diligence for Responsible Supply Chains in the Garment & Footwear Sector, OECD Centre for RBC, Directorate for Financial & Enterprise Affairs 

–       Mr. Truong Van Cam, Vice Chairman, Vietnam Textile & Apparel Association (VITAS)

–       Mr. Alexander Falter, General Director, ECCO Vietnam

–       Mr. Paul Norriss, CEO, UnAvailable 

Background:

Viet Nam has emerged as one of the leading textiles exporting countries worldwide in recent years, becoming the fourth apparel exporting country in 2019 (by value – 30.6 billion USD). The Vietnamese garment and footwear industry accounts for 16% of the country total exports, employs 2.5 million workers. The growth of the garment and footwear sector was also boosted by Viet Nam’s increased integration into Global Value Chains (GVCs), through the coming into force of a number of trade agreements, including, the Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) (2019), the EU – Viet Nam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) (2020), or the UK –Viet Nam Free Trade Agreement (UKVFTA) (2021).

However, the COVID-19 crisis has exerted a substantial toll on economies and societies. Worldwide, general and targeted lockdown measures were implemented to contain the outbreak, which paused sections of the global economy, resulting in global trade declining by over 15% in the first half of 2020. These disrupted GVCs, leading to business closures, insolvencies and increased unemployment rates, and this perhaps nowhere more so than in the garment & footwear sector.

In Viet Nam in particular, the initial impact of GVC disruptions has been twofold. First, Viet Nam’s economy experienced falling international demand for manufactured goods, which placed manufacturers in difficulty for meeting their wage bill as orders were cancelled or not placed. Second, the disruption of GVCs interrupted Viet Nam’s material imports, so there would be difficulty fulfilling even those orders that were placed.

As Viet Nam’s garment and footwear sector recovers from the Covid-19 impact, adopting and integrating RBC standards throughout the sector is the key to unlocking future opportunities outside of the context of the pressing and immediate risks posed by the pandemic.

About The Responsible Supply Chains in Asia (RSCA) Programme

The workshop is part of the Responsible Supply Chains in Asia Programme (RSCA), a partnership between the European Union (EU), the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), funded by the European Union. The RSCA works with partners in Asia to promote responsible business conduct in global supply chains.

The overarching objectives of the RSCA Programme are to promote smart, sustainable and inclusive growth by ensuring that investors and businesses have a better understanding of corporate social responsibility; and to create policy environments conducive to promoting responsible business conduct and increased opportunities for dialogue. The programme is taking place in partnership with six Asian economies, namely Japan, China, Thailand, Viet Nam, Philippines, and Myanmar.

With the world’s economy recovering from the COVID-19 crisis, managing risks and adjusting strategies for post-pandemic development have become amongst the top priorities for many businesses. However, organisations, especially small and medium enterprises, are now facing difficulties in forecasting future trends due to uncertainties caused by the pandemic. In the first half of 2021, Vietnam saw more than 70,000 businesses withdrawing from the market, an increase of nearly 25% year-on-year, and most of which were of small scale or established under 5 years.

According to World Bank’s experts, firms that survived the COVID-19 crisis are older and more productive; they also tend to be innovators, use digital technology, and operate in less burdensome business environments. So what does it take for a business to not only survive, but also innovate and thrive in a changing future?

To help professionals and businesses find answers to this question, the upcoming ‘Leaders Talk’ webinar on October 2^nd will welcome a special guest: Nitin Kapoor – Chairman and General Director, AstraZeneca Vietnam and Asia area frontier markets. With over 25 years of experience across various industries, and now leading a country branch of one of the world’s most popular pharmaceutical firms, Mr. Kapoor will be sharing about business administration skills during challenging times such as these, as well as giving comments on pandemic control and business outlook in the new economy. The webinar will be moderated by Dr. Joao Fialho – Leader of the Master of Business Administration (MBA) programme at BUV.

‘Guiding Businesses Through Times Of Crisis’ is the fourth episode in the ‘Leaders Talk’ series of events co-organised by British University Vietnam (BUV) and British Chamber of Commerce Vietnam (BritCham Vietnam). Built for career-oriented professionals, the programme is where business ideas and experience are shared and exchanged.

Standard Chartered Bank – BritCham Sustainability Webinar Series:

Webinar No.1 – ACHIEVING NET ZERO, CARBON MARKETS AND THEIR ROLE IN REDUCING GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS, PERSPECTIVES FROM VIETNAM AND THE ASIA REGION

Organisations have increasingly joined the sustainability movement in large numbers as an initiative towards sustainable development and healthy living. Conversations around carbon neutrality – with a focus on becoming ‘net-zero’ – have been circulating in recent years, promising businesses a solution to combat climate issues.

The concept of carbon neutrality was first strengthened by the Paris Agreement in 2015, whose main goal was to limit global warming and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. By adopting the initiative, corporates help forge a greener future through investments in renewable energy, energy efficiency, or sustainability projects that balance out carbon emissions and mitigate the impacts of climate change.

Six years into the Agreement, and the efforts were proven fruitful as more than 115 countries have submitted a new or updated NDC (Nationally determined contributions) and 6,000 major corporates have pledged to reduce gas emissions. In 2019, Britain became the first G7 country to pass net-zero emission laws, urging leaders worldwide to follow suit. As technological progress further advances and the cost of renewable energy has declined over the years, going green is no longer seen as a trade-off for economic growth, especially in Asian booming economies. In its latest discussion with COP26 President Alok Sharma, Vietnam has affirmed its goal to reach net-zero emissions in the near future, with a heavy emphasis on sustainable consumption and the green transition process in all economic sectors.

‘Achieving Net Zero, Carbon Markets and Their Role in Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Perspectives from Vietnam and the Asia Region’ is the first webinar in a series of events co-organised by Standard Chartered Bank (SCB) and British Chamber of Commerce Vietnam (BritCham) to promote sustainable development in Vietnam and the application of ESG among businesses. This will support participating businesses and organisations devise effective strategies for their sustainable development. These events will involve key relevant stakeholders from the government, regulators and industry thought leaders.

Decree 152 concerning the management of foreigners working in Vietnam has brought challenges to employers relative to the Vietnam Work Permit landscape with crucial consequences for companies seeking to send their employees into the country and extend current assignments especially during the current global pandemic and Vietnams fight against the delta variant of COVID-19.

The AusCham and BritCham webinar speakers will explain the recent changes to the work permit law and how they affect expatriates, especially in the education sector. They will give practical advice on what to do in individual circumstances and will discuss the efforts being made with the government to improve the application process.

This is a must-attend event for all foreign workers to understand the changes and understand how to navigate the new laws.
