Negotiations began and ended amid the rapid development of economic, trade, and investment relations between Vietnam and the EU. The deal is expected to have a positive impact on both, with tariffs on nearly 100 percent of Vietnam’s exports to the EU to be eliminated after a short period of time.
Among all its FTAs, the EVFTA has the highest level of commitment from a partner to Vietnam. Many experts believed it will create a huge boost for the country’s exports, helping it diversify markets and export items.
