Many domestic enterprises participating in the Forum on Linkage and Investment Opportunities for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises, held by the US Agency for International Development (USAID), in association with the Department of Industry and Trade, and the Saigon High-Tech Park (SHTP) on December 9, affirmed that joining the global supply chain of supporting industry products is not difficult. The remaining problem is weak internal resources, so they cannot supply any high value-added product.

The risk of a new outbreak of Covid-19 in Europe and the US has been raising concerns that supply chains of raw materials for production will break again. Therefore, foreign direct investment (FDI) enterprises that manufacture end products in Vietnam have been accelerating their capacity to expand domestic supply chains.

Generally, in the first nine months of this year, the total foreign investment capital into Vietnam reached US$21.2 billion. Of which, there were 1,947 newly-licensed projects. Many economic experts affirmed that the free trade agreements (FTAs) that Vietnam has already signed and will sign this year are accelerating the flow of foreign investment to Vietnam.
