[Part 2] Emergency Podcast: If You Are Not Confused, You're Not Paying Attention | Michael Kokalari | EP 392

About this episode

The episode discusses Vietnam's economic resilience amidst global uncertainties and the strategic priorities needed for sustained growth.

Against a backdrop of ongoing global economic uncertainty, Vietnam has managed to maintain relatively strong macroeconomic stability, supported by infrastructure investment, resilient domestic consumption, and controlled inflation. Our financial markets have also shown notable resilience despite persistent external pressures from geopolitics, energy volatility, and shifting global capital flows. However, beneath these positive signals lie growing challenges, including rising construction costs, labor shortages, elevated housing prices and interest rates, as well as increasing risks tied to energy security and climate change. As global volatility continues to intensify, what strategic priorities should Vietnam focus on to strengthen economic resilience while sustaining long-term growth momentum? --- Listen to this episode on Youtube And explore many amazing articles about the pioneers at: https://vietcetera.com/vn/bo-suu-tap/vietnam-innovator Feel free to leave any questions or invitations for business cooperation at hello@vni-digest.com
