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.

______________

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.

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.

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

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.

Join us on our upcoming BritCham Vietnam Sector-Focused Webinar: Logistics in the new normal to hear sharings from our line of experts from the emerging technology trends within logistics to more details on the Customs 2030 plan – modernization of the Customs – and its impact on the logistics industry as well as recent customs issues relating to Bonded Warehouse operations.

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.

Join us on our upcoming BritCham Vietnam Sector-Focused Webinar: Logistics in the new normal to hear sharings from our line of experts from the emerging technology trends within logistics to more details on the Customs 2030 plan – modernization of the Customs – and its impact on the logistics industry as well as recent customs issues relating to Bonded Warehouse operations.

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.
