Overview
Vietnam has shown remarkable resilience throughout its history. At a time of mounting global uncertainty – from shifting geopolitics and disrupted supply chains to the rapid advance of artificial intelligence – the Southeast Asian nation is stepping up efforts to set the agenda for its next phase of growth.
As the country enters 2026, a new chapter is unfolding.A reshaped leadership, bold policy reforms and a sharper focus on technology are pushing the economy out of its comfort zone. The key question now is whether Vietnam can turn the resilience embedded in its DNA into durable growth in the year ahead.

Resilience
before global challenges
Vietnam enters 2026 facing intensifying global headwinds – from shifting geopolitics and fractured supply chains to the relentless advance of new technologies. These forces are testing the resilience and adaptability of Vietnamese enterprises, demanding stronger risk management and more diversified strategies to remain competitive in an increasingly volatile global economy.
Velocity
of Growth
Despite the uncertainty, Vietnam’s growth outlook is supported by a new government agenda focused on accelerating public investment, expanding green energy and advancing AI-driven transformation. This new phase of development places greater emphasis on innovation, productivity gains and long-term competitiveness for businesses across the economy.

The New Alignment
Now, geostrategy, technology, supply chains and national security are reshaping the global economy. The endgame is unclear, but a reordering of power and prosperity may be underway. Are we seeing a structural shift in global gravity? Does this mean prolonged stress and dislocation, or an uneven path to renewed growth and productivity and will it deepen inequality and polarization, or ease them? Where is ASEAN’s position within this flow?

Trade’s New Realities
Tariffs have added hurdles to a system that was still recovering from pandemic-era disruptions and reeling from the impact of geopolitical conflicts. The dilemma now for countries is whether to accept protectionism as a new normal or wait to see if conditions ease as time passes.
How did Vietnam cope with the condition? What distinct trade patterns are emerging? Which market should Vietnam more or less focus on in 2026?
