Currently, Vietnam's major advantage in attracting foreign investment is the demographic dividend and population cost. The median age of Vietnam's population is about 30 years old, and the population under 35 years old accounts for about 55.6% of the total population.
According to this analysis, the current minimum wage level in Vietnam is lower than in Thailand and Indonesia, and is at a lower level among Southeast Asian countries. Apart from labor costs, Vietnam is one of the lowest countries in its neighborhood in terms of cost of doing business, second only to Cambodia and Myanmar.
At the same time, Vietnam actively pursues an all-round diplomatic course, developing friendly cooperation with ASEAN countries, while establishing ties with large economies such as China, the US, Russia, Japan and the EU, as well as the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank, and participating in multilateral trade. With the entry into force of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), investments in Vietnam from South Korea, Japan and Singapore have maintained a relatively rapid growth.
Vietnam has signed several new free trade agreements, especially the Vietnam-EU Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) and the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP). So far, Vietnam has maintained economic and trade relations with 220 countries and regions and signed more than 80 double taxation avoidance agreements with foreign countries, which helps Vietnam integrate into the global economy, improve the business environment and effectively attract Foreign direct investment.
To increase the attractiveness of foreign investment, the Vietnamese government has introduced a series of tax incentives, including but not limited to preferential taxes for domestic companies, such as lower corporate income tax rates, exemption or reduction of import taxes on fixed assets and raw materials, exemption or reduction of land taxes, etc. According to the analysis, Vietnam's home appliance market is expected to continue to grow from 2022-2031. On the one hand, the export volume of Vietnamese home appliances will continue to rise. Meanwhile, with the development of the economy and population growth, the demand for home appliances in Vietnam's domestic market is also on the rise.
