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.

The rise of breakthrough technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), big data, and cloud computing is driving the need to upgrade and expand connectivity infrastructure. Investment in multiple submarine fibre-optic cable routes will help Viet Nam lay the groundwork for its digital future and realise its national digital transformation goals.
