A conference on technological application for the development of digital commerce databases, themed “AI Commerce – Shaping the Next Generation of Growth”, was held by the Department of E-commerce and Digital Economy under the Ministry of Industry and Trade on November 1.

Digital transformation is no longer just a trend but a critical engine for growth in Viet Nam’s financial sector, which plays a central role in the country’s digital economy, said Josh Warland, First Secretary for Digital Economy and Technology at the British Consulate General in Ho Chi Minh City.

In 2025, Viet Nam’s agricultural sector has set a target growth rate of at least 4%. However, this goal faces significant challenges as traditional resource-based exploitation models can no longer fuel breakthroughs, compounded by increasingly complex and unpredictable global trade dynamics.

The General Statistics Office (GSO) and the United Nations for Population Fund (UNFPA) on August 16 co-chaired an international conference to seek consultations, study the feasibility, and implement effective data management, governance, and stewardship practices.
