Deputy Chairman of the Economic and Financial Committee Nguyen Huu Toan speaks

At the reception, Deputy Chairman of the Economic and Financial Committee Nguyen Huu Toan highly appreciated the practical and effective contributions of JETRO in Vietnam in promoting investment and trade cooperation between the two countries.

Introducing the survey results and activities of JETRO, Chief Representative of JETRO in Hanoi Ozasa Haruhiko said that the survey results of Japanese enterprises investing and doing business in Vietnam showed that 56.1% of enterprises want to expand their business in Vietnam in the next 1-2 years, the highest rate in the ASEAN region. This also shows that Vietnam is an attractive and noteworthy destination for Japanese investors. In addition, Japanese enterprises also assessed the market size and growth potential of Vietnam as the biggest advantage, especially in the context that Vietnam is aiming for double-digit growth in the coming time; the criteria of Vietnam's stable political and social situation are all above the ASEAN average.

Noting that attracting foreign investment is one of the very important factors in Vietnam's socio-economic development, the Deputy Chairman of the Economic and Financial Committee acknowledged that the survey results of JETRO are reflective information and at the same time an extremely useful reference source for policy-making agencies, including the Economic and Financial Committee, to have objective assessments from businesses, thereby continuing to research and perfect legal policies to improve the investment and business environment.

On the other hand, the risks of the investment environment reflected by businesses are also issues that need utmost attention in order to improve the legal system and issue policies to minimize risks and challenges, creating a transparent and open investment environment for foreign investors in Vietnam.

The Deputy Chairman of the Economic and Financial Committee said that in 2025, Vietnam has made very strong innovations in promoting the improvement of the investment environment as well as supporting foreign enterprises and setting a target of cutting 30% of administrative procedures. It is expected that the Vietnamese Government will submit to the National Assembly a resolution on promoting FDI investment, focusing on important areas such as green production, green energy, new technologies, etc.

Thereby, the Deputy Chairman of the Economic and Financial Committee believes that the results of the JETRO survey in the coming time will show the "bright spots" in Vietnam's efforts to create a clear legal corridor and improve the investment and business environment for foreign investors. In addition, he hopes that in the coming time, there will be more Japanese investors participating in the Vietnamese market.

JETRO Chief Representative in Hanoi Ozasa Haruhiko hopes to accompany Vietnamese agencies to carry out activities that contribute to strengthening and improving the effectiveness of bilateral economic and trade cooperation between the two countries; believing that Resolution No. 68-NQ/TW of the Politburo will help the Vietnamese business community develop more strongly, becoming reliable partners of Japanese investors.
