In the new development context, as the demand for green, sustainable growth driven by internal strength becomes increasingly clear, heritage is no longer viewed simply as a “memory of the past” to be preserved in its original state. It is gradually being established as a strategic resource for both the present and the future.

In a global context that increasingly emphasises “inclusive growth”, the concept of diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) has moved beyond the realm of social values to become an internal driver that generates new momentum for the economy during the transition of growth models.

The Viet Nam Care Economy Forum 2026 under the theme “Business model innovation – Promoting sustainable business development” was co-organised by the Viet Nam Women Entrepreneurs Council under the Viet Nam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI) and UN Women in Ha Noi, on January 26.

As climate change, environmental pollution, and biodiversity loss exert increasingly severe impacts, green transformation and the development of a circular economy are no longer optional—they have become essential. These approaches serve as the “key” to mitigating environmental challenges while enhancing the quality of economic growth.

Viet Nam’s economy expanded by 7.85% in the first nine months of 2025, edging close to the 8% annual growth target. As the fourth quarter begins, attention shifts to establishing a robust foundation for sustained and high-quality growth.

Viet Nam is entering a historic economic period, with new “ambitions” for high growth. In this context, traditional growth drivers have reached their limits and new drivers suited to Viet Nam’s current development structure and context are needed.

Party General Secretary To Lam chaired a working session with standing members of subcommittees for the 14th Party Congress on September 25 to give opinions on finalising the draft documents to be submitted to the congress.

As Viet Nam strives towards the target of net-zero emissions by 2050, the green finance market, especially green bonds, is increasingly seen as a key tool for mobilising resources to support sustainable growth.

Without breakthrough policy reforms, Viet Nam's growth in the coming years is likely to remain moderate and struggle to achieve the momentum needed to escape the middle-income trap.

Experts, and representatives of international organisations, and investment funds have shown their belief in the potential for sustainable growth in Vietnam in the coming time.
