🔥 What’s Hot in Vietnam
Regulation about Crypto Currency: Vietnam has moved from a "gray area" to a 5-year pilot framework (Resolution 05/2025/NQ-CP). Key highlights include licensing for digital asset exchanges, regulated token issuance backed by real assets, and the integration of digital assets into the formal economy to mobilize capital.
Resolution 222: The "Golden Key" for Ho Chi Minh City. This National Assembly resolution grants unprecedented autonomy to the International Financial Centre, including liberalized foreign exchange controls, tax holidays (up to 15 years), and work permit exemptions for global experts.
New Era of Vietnam: Vietnam has officially entered the "Era of the Nation's Rise," a strategic period (2026–2030) targeting double-digit GDP growth (10%+). The focus has shifted from low-cost labor to a high-tech, innovation-driven economy.
The New 5-Year Term (2026–2031): A complete political refresh focusing on Institutional Breakthroughs. The government is committed to "technological sovereignty," AI integration, and making the digital economy account for 30% of GDP by 2030.7
