On Monday, 1 March 2021 we’ve held our first Monthly Business Meeting in 2021:
“ECONOMICAL OUTLOOK 2021 – Legal, Tax & Economic Update”
We had the honor of a personal introduction by Mr. Phuoc Anh Tran, the new Acting General Director of the Department of Foreign Affairs in Ho Chi Minh City. His opening words were followed by Mr. Tran Phu Lu, Deputy Director of the Investment & Trade Promotion Centre (ITPC) in Ho Chi Minh City, a sub-organization of the People’s Committee of Ho Chi Minh City.
The GBA Board aims to closely work together with the local authorities and pursues a close and sustainable relationship.
The Economical Outlook 2021 was presented by Mr. Quang Huynh, Chief Country Officer of Deutsche Bank AG Ho Chi Minh City Branch. According to our GBA Corporate Partner, Vietnam is expected to remain the fastest-growing economy with estimated GDP growth of 7.5 percent among major countries in ASEAN this year, higher than Malaysia (7.2%), Singapore (6.5%), Indonesia (4%), and Thailand (4%).
