Vietnam
Vietnam is a priority country for SECO's economic cooperation and development. The country aims to achieve high-income status by 2045, and net-zero emissions by 2050. Structural reforms are necessary to achieve these ambitious objectives. Vietnam’s economy also needs to strengthen its financial stability and enhance the resilience of its exports against external shocks. A resilient economy also needs to be inclusive and minimize the welfare losses of those most exposed to and affected by external shocks. To support this transformation, the cooperation programme 2025-2028 will focus on three key areas: promoting sustainable trade and innovation, fostering sustainable public and private finance, and strengthening climate-smart industrial and urban development.
