AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Trade: Vietnam and the four EFTA countries—Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein—signed a free-trade agreement in Hanoi on Sunday, after 14 years of talks. The pact cuts or removes tariffs on industrial, fish and agricultural goods as Vietnam seeks to diversify markets amid global trade uncertainty. Growth and Investment: Vietnam is targeting at least 10% GDP growth in 2027, while the central bank is urging commercial banks to lower rates. Foreign investment rose 76.4% in the first nine months, as officials push to capture more value at home. City Life: Ho Chi Minh City has integrated metro and bus tickets into the VNeID app; Hanoi doubled parking fees on 12 streets, to about $1.90 an hour.
