This article was published in Vietnamese in Đầu tư, the Vietnamese-language investment and business newspaper of Báo Tài chính – Đầu tư.
The article examines how Vietnam’s foreign investment landscape is moving beyond the traditional cost-based narrative. Its central argument is that long-term investor confidence increasingly depends on institutional trust, regulatory predictability, administrative transparency, and the ability to turn reform commitments into practical operating confidence.
The publication is relevant because it brings Dr. Sven David’s analysis into Vietnam’s domestic business, investment, and policy discussion.
