In addition to these favorable conditions, the right policy planning from the Central to the local level in Vietnam also holds great appeal. As a result, many new companies are entering the market due to tax incentives in key economic areas. Currently, businesses are trying to expand and diversify markets so as not to be dependent on China. In particular, Vietnam has emerged with political stability, open investment opportunities, meeting the needs of businesses related to legal factors and support from local authorities.
