Vietnam is experiencing significant economic shifts characterized by rising domestic wealth and increased international presence. Projections indicate that the number of high-net-worth individuals is expected to double by 2030, driven by a major wealth transfer from the first generation of entrepreneurs to the second. 

Simultaneously, Vietnamese enterprises are accelerating their global expansion. Outward investment reached nearly $2.77 billion in the first nine months of 2026, more than doubling the total recorded for 2025. This trend marks a strategic transition from a reliance on exporting goods to domestic firms establishing direct production, infrastructure, and retail systems in international markets to compete globally.
