Vietnam's next FDI wave will significantly boost GDP growth

FDI companies will help build Vietnam's local suppliers by:

  • Second executives to Vietnamese firms
  • Transfer knowledge & Best practices
  • Long-termprocurement contracts

In the past, FDI companies built up local suppliers in:

Singapore, Thailand, Mexico, etc.

In the 1980's, 80-90% of local companies in Singapore could

not meet FDI companies' procurement quality standards !

So FDI firms helped Singaporean companies improve !
