    The Whole World Knows The Vietnam But Why Aren't They Buying More Of Our Products? | Cuong Dang, Chairman of Vietnam Vanguard | EP 396

    [English as below] Việt Nam đang đứng trước cơ hội hiếm có để bứt phá khỏi bẫy thu nhập trung bình và tiến gần hơn đến mục tiêu trở thành nền kinh tế nghìn tỷ USD. Nhưng tăng trưởng nhanh thôi là chưa đủ. Câu hỏi lớn hơn là: Làm thế nào để Việt Nam xây dựng được những động lực tăng trưởng bền vững, thay vì tiếp tục phụ thuộc vào FDI và lợi thế lao động chi phí thấp như nhiều nền kinh tế đi trước? Trong tập 396 của Vietnam Innovators (Tiếng Anh), host Hảo Trần trò chuyện cùng ông Cường Đặng - Chủ tịch Vietnam Vanguard, về con đường hướng tới nền kinh tế nghìn tỷ USD của Việt Nam, bài toán bẫy thu nhập trung bình, khoảng trống lãnh đạo kế cận và những thách thức mà thế hệ doanh nhân F2 đang phải đối mặt khi tiếp quản doanh nghiệp gia đình trong bối cảnh cạnh tranh toàn cầu ngày càng gay gắt. — Vietnam stands at a pivotal moment in its development journey. With ambitions to become a trillion-dollar economy, the country has an opportunity to break free from the middle-income trap. Yet the real challenge lies in building sustainable growth engines rather than relying solely on foreign investment and low-cost labor - the very model that has limited the long-term progress of many economies before it. In the EP 396 of Vietnam Innovators (English Edition), host Hao Tran talks with Cuong Dang, Chairman of Vietnam Vanguard, to discuss Vietnam's path toward a trillion-dollar economy, the risks of the middle-income trap, the growing leadership succession gap, and the unique challenges facing second-generation business leaders as they navigate an increasingly competitive global landscape. - 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 ⁠team@vietcetera.com

    How Vietnam Could Become A Developed Country Besides GDP? | Warrick Cleine MBE | EP 393

    GDP is often the starting point when evaluating a country’s development.

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

    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
