Vietnam is facing a period of expanding growth space.

(Chinhphu.vn) – Experts believe that Vietnam is facing a period of expanding its growth space. However, to effectively utilize it, internal capacity needs to be strengthened, innovation needs to spread, and the legal framework needs to be perfected, so that Vietnam can firmly step forward in the journey of building a modern digital economy, with deep integration and sustainable growth.

At the 2026 Business Forum with the theme "New Growth Space: Opportunities and Strategies", experts said that the Vietnamese economy is entering a period of remarkable growth thanks to looser monetary policy, strong public investment and administrative reform. The GDP growth target for the 2026-2030 period is set at the highest level in the decade.

"Besides monetary policy, public investment will be the main driving force as Vietnam has low public debt (about 32%), allowing for strong disbursement growth next year," said Mr. Nguyen Viet Duc, Director of Digital Business of VPBank Securities (VPBankS).

Dr. Vo Tri Thanh, former Deputy Director of the Central Institute for Economic Management (CIEM), said that looking back at 40 years of reform, Vietnam has strongly expanded its "business space" - from market economy, FDI, securities to digital economy and crypto assets. At the same time, it is necessary to improve "capacity" - the ability to adapt, innovate, and learn to take advantage of opportunities.

According to Mr. Thanh, this is an important stage for the private economy to assert its leading role.

Analyzing the potential and challenges of crypto assets, Mr. Nghiem Minh Hoang, Economic - Financial Expert, Vietnam Blockchain and Digital Asset Association (VBA) said that Resolution 05 on crypto assets opens a new phase for the market. Vietnam has about 21 million cryptocurrency trading accounts, with an estimated transaction value of 200 billion USD. It is expected that there will be the first 5 pilot exchanges, creating conditions for Vietnam to form a regional digital asset center.

However, Mr. Hoang pointed out three major challenges including: The legal framework is new and needs time to complete; limited management experience; technology and security risks. Therefore, the implementation process needs to be cautious and have a clear roadmap.

Mr. Le Bao Nguyen, Deputy General Director of SSI Digital Technology Joint Stock Company (SSID) assessed: Crypto assets are a high-risk market, requiring businesses to have strong technological and financial capacity. The new resolution sets high charter capital conditions to protect investors and limit risks. SSID has carefully prepared human resources, technology, and processes to be ready to participate, while supporting management agencies in the pilot phase.

According to Mr. Le Bao Nguyen, in fact, being late helps Vietnam have the opportunity to learn from international experience, avoid mistakes, and at the same time build a sustainable ecosystem.

Mr. Nguyen Viet Duc, Director of Digital Business of VPBank Securities (VPBankS), further analyzed that digital assets are a field in which Vietnam can compete globally, especially when the Government promotes the construction of an international financial center in Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang. Domestic technology and financial enterprises are actively preparing to take advantage of this trend.
