A Deep Dive into Macroeconomic Dialogue and Practical Insights
In the opening remarks of the event, a representative from MB’s leadership emphasized that amidst ongoing global and domestic economic fluctuations, Vietnamese import-export businesses must maintain a proactive mindset in adapting and managing risks flexibly to fuel recovery and new growth phases. The MB Economic Insights 2025 Forum aims to provide a holistic view of the international economy while offering actionable solutions to strengthen businesses against challenges.
At the forum, Mr. Sacha Dray – World Bank Economist in Vietnam – presented a topic on global and Vietnamese economic cycles, along with growth, inflation, and employment prospects in key regions such as the U.S., Europe, and Southeast Asia for 2026. He highlighted, “Vietnam maintains positive growth potential thanks to its stable macroeconomic foundation, but it must continue enhancing productivity and private sector adaptability.”
Following the program, Dr. Nguyen Xuan Thanh, a lecturer at the Fulbright School of Public Policy and Management, provided an in-depth analysis of global monetary policy trends and updates on international trade developments from 2025 to 2026. He noted that Vietnam is at a critical juncture to “leverage policy space to stimulate growth while managing inflation and public debt risks.”
