Vietnam Entering The Market

Vietnam is 99th in the World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business ranking.

The main challenges of doing business in Vietnam are:

  • Inadequate infrastructure
  • Corruption
  • Lack of skills
  • Bureaucracy
  • Grey areas of Vietnamese law
  • Lack of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) enforcement
  • Language barrier means translators and interpreters often needed

Transparency International rated Vietnam 116th in its Corruption Perceptions Index.

You should ensure you take the necessary steps to comply with the requirements of the UK Bribery Act.

UK retailers will need to meet the requirements of Vietnam’s economic needs test which limits the number of stores foreign retailers can open. Details can be found in articles 7 and 17 of Circular 08/2013/TT-BCT issued by the Ministry of Investment and Trade (MoIT).
