Global uncertainty keeps money on the move. Investors are recalibrating their risk appetite and reshaping strategies to navigate volatility.
Let’s explore where investment flows are heading – across the region and into Vietnam.
Vietnam is aiming to build an international financial hub – a bold move to attract global capital and top talent. The journey demands sweeping changes, from institutional and policy reform to a transformation of the financial system itself, as the country works to carve out a stronger position on the regional financial map
Global uncertainty is fueling market swings and putting old playbooks to the test. Investors face a critical choice: stay the course with long-term strategies or pivot short-term in search of sharper gains. Let’s dives into the approaches of leading global investment institutions, offering insights on how they navigate volatility and position for what comes next.
For the first time, Vietnam is setting up a regulatory framework for digital assets – a milestone not only for investors but for the entire financial market. Let’s unpack how technology is reshaping the rules of the game and creating a new edge in investing.

Currently, only 16 of the world’s 195 countries host data centers powerful enough to drive the most complex AI systems. Many simply can’t underwrite the cost. Others don’t have the necessary resources or supporting infrastructure. This imbalance presents many challenges, some more obvious than others.
