The EVFTA, EU-Vietnam free trade agreement, eliminates almost 99 percent of customs duties between the two countries.
The RCEP,Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership, further builds on free trade agreements within ASEAN 15 countries ASEAN members, which Vietnam is a part of, as well as Australia, China, Japan, South Korea, and New Zealand.
Vietnam adopted an amended Law on Enterprises and Law on Investment, which took effect in January 2021. Both laws are timely given the passage of new free trade agreements.

Outsourcing in Vietnam
- The pandemic has had a significant impact on global supply chains, upending trade and slowing growth. Due to the pandemic, China, known as the ‘factory of the world’ shut factories and production lines, battering supply chains. This created a domino effect with businesses struggling to finish products and source raw inputs.
- Foreign companies outsourcing operations to reduce costs and improve market share is nothing new. The only things that seem to change are the companies changing the way that operations are relocated and the countries that manage to attract capital inflows.
- In this context, Vietnam has benefitted in attracting investors due to several factors including its ability to reopen its economy, gaining an advantage over others.

- Garment and textile cluster
- Automotive cluster
- Electronic clusters
- Food, beverage and feed processing cluster
