Overview
Vietnam has demonstrated extraordinary resilience across its history. In moments of global uncertainty, whether war, trade tensions, policy reform, or economic pressure, its 100-million-strong nation has shown an ability not only to withstand disruption, but to adapt and emerge stronger.
Despite persistent headwinds in 2025, from geopolitical tensions to tariff pressure and domestic restructuring, Vietnam continues to stand out as a bright spot in a clouded global outlook.
As the country enters 2026, a new chapter unfolds. A restructured government leadership, a shifting geopolitical order, and tightening financial conditions are testing the limits of resilience—of the economy, of enterprises, and of Vietnam’s position in global value chains. The central question emerges: How will Vietnam defend its resilience and convert it into meaningful growth in 2026?

Resilience
Before Headwind
Vietnam faces stronger headwinds in 2026: uncertain export tariffs, prolonged monetary tightening, and a firm U.S. dollar pressuring FX stability and corporate balance sheets. These challenges test the resilience of Vietnamese enterprises, demanding sharper risk management and more diversified strategies to maintain competitiveness in a volatile global landscape.
The New Normal
With Growth
Despite uncertainty, Vietnam’s growth momentum is supported by accelerating public investment, deeper FDI–domestic linkages, and the rise of green, digital, and AI-driven transformation. Expanding energy capacity will be critical to sustain industrial growth. The new normal calls for innovation, productivity upgrades, and long-term competitiveness across the economy.

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?
