Together with the Vienna University of Economics and Business, ADVANTAGE AUSTRIA conducts an annual survey among Austrian subsidiaries around the globe in order to assess the business climate in each country: the Global Business Barometer.


In October 2023, we asked Austrian investors in Vietnam to complete this survey. Here are the results! In a nutshell: After facing temporary challenges in a mostly difficult market situation in 2023, Austrian investors keep a positive business outlook for 2024.

Key findings of the Global Business Barometer Vietnam 2023

  • Temporary declining external and domestic demand and a downturn in multiple domestic sectors have hit business in Vietnam. 85 % of Austrian investors believe the business climate in Vietnam has worsened in 2023, but they remain optimistic for 2024.
  • Political stability in Vietnam is still considered a pull factor, but geoeconomic developments may jeopardize Vietnam’s position in the medium term.
  • Bureaucracy and red tape remain key issues on the regulatory level, whereas labour costs are considered still attractive.
  • Comparatively low purchasing power and cautious spending in 2023 are perceived as a market barrier.
  • Communication with regulatory decision-makers and involvement of ADVANTAGE AUSTRIA are key to enforce company interests in Vietnam.
