On August 18, 2025, VietinBank successfully hosted the 2025 Import-Export Forum at the Sheraton Saigon Hotel, with the theme “New Strategies in Global Flow.” The event gathered representatives from regulatory agencies, economic experts, policymakers, and hundreds of businesses operating in the import-export sector. It served as a platform not only to update on the latest developments in international trade but also to share practical strategies, helping businesses seize opportunities and mitigate risks in the ever-changing global economic landscape.
In his opening remarks, the leader of VietinBank emphasized that Vietnam’s import-export activities are facing both significant opportunities and new challenges. The shift in supply chains and trade policy adjustments by major economies, particularly the United States, necessitate a change in approach for businesses. VietinBank aims to provide businesses with access to updated information, in-depth analysis, and concrete action plans through this forum, while also expanding financial and trade cooperation opportunities.
The forum consisted of two thematic discussion sessions, featuring leading experts. The first session focused on elucidating the impact of US trade and tariff policies on Vietnam’s exports, while also warning about risks related to origin fraud and trade protectionism. It analyzed the phenomenon of “intermediate transhipment” and recommended that businesses enhance transparency in supply chains, proactively standardize origin documentation, and diversify markets to reduce dependence on a few large markets.

The second session delved into opportunities for the manufacturing and supporting industries. Experts analyzed the wave of global capital and order shifts, highlighting Vietnam’s potential to deepen its involvement in the supply chains of multinational corporations. To seize these opportunities, businesses need to increase localization rates, promptly meet stringent technical and origin standards, and develop long-term strategies to adapt flexibly to international market demands. The insights shared offered not only analytical insights but also concrete solutions for businesses to readily implement in their production and operations.

The forum provided not just updates on international trade policies and trends but also practical value in three key aspects. Firstly, it offered a macro-economic and trade flow overview, helping businesses understand their positioning. Secondly, it presented in-depth analyses with specific data and examples, providing a systemic perspective and strategic vision. Most importantly, the forum suggested actionable solutions, ranging from origin control and production process standardization to market diversification—practical steps to enhance competitiveness.
Alongside the experts’ insights, VietinBank also introduced financial solutions and tailored products and services for import-export businesses, underscoring its role not just as an event organizer but as a strategic partner committed to supporting businesses in their pursuit of new ventures.
The guests highly appreciated the forum’s practical nature, offering both updated information and insightful analyses, along with strategic solutions befitting the dynamic international market landscape. With its comprehensive approach—encompassing information provision, trend analysis, and financial tool introduction—the 2025 Import-Export Forum organized by VietinBank reaffirmed its commitment to accompanying import-export businesses, empowering them to enhance their competitiveness and seize opportunities in the global trade flow.
