Analyzing the strong resilience and overall growth quality of Vietnam's economy in the first half of 2026, Aquis Capital, an organization specializing in exploiting investment opportunities in Asia, based in Switzerland, believes that the boom in corporate profits and record foreign investment capital continue to consolidate Vietnam's strategic position in the global supply chain.
In addition, the maturity of the domestic market and the expectation of upgrading from the FTSE organization open up attractive prospects for medium and long-term investors in Vietnam.
In the first half of 2026, despite facing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and global market volatility, Vietnam's GDP in the second quarter of 2026 still reached 8.39%, bringing the overall growth rate in the first half of the year to 8.18% - among the highest in the world.
What is particularly noteworthy is not only the growth rate but also the quality of that growth. Unlike many emerging markets, Vietnam's growth engine is diverse, not only based on speed but also thanks to many solid pillars: Industrial and manufacturing production continues to be the main growth engine with an increase of more than 10%; the service sector, private consumption and tourism continue to maintain strong growth momentum, while agriculture still contributes stably to overall economic growth.
In addition to solid macroeconomic fundamentals, Vietnam continues to benefit from long-term structural trends and is increasingly affirming its position as a strategic manufacturing and technology center in global supply chains. Strong foreign direct investment capital from across Asia, combined with a consistent infrastructure development strategy, continues to support this transformation process.
Along with that, foreign direct investment in Vietnam is still at a record level, while the government is investing heavily in transportation infrastructure, energy and digital transformation. These investments improve economic productivity and create a solid foundation for sustainable business profit growth.
