It will also address opportunities and challenges for Vietnam’s digital economy in the context of Industry 4.0.
The forum will review the Vietnamese economy’s development in 2018 and discuss its prospects for 2019. It will include high-level policy dialogue and an exhibition showcase on sustainable energy technology.
Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc has asked relevant ministries and organisers to prepare carefully for the success of VEF 2019.
VEF 2019, which will be held in the context of escalating US-China economic tensions, Fed tightening policies, demographic challenges, debt dynamics and Industry 4.0, is expected to welcome more than 2,000 participants including policymakers, economists, academics, and representatives of businesses and international organisations.
VEF 2018 was held in January 2018 and attracted more than 1,500 delegates. The first VEF was held in June 2017.
