Vietnam Breaks into Asia-Pacific’s Top 10 for Ease of Doing Business
Vietnam has climbed to 10th place in the latest ASIFMA–KPMG Asia-Pacific Ease of Doing Business Survey, marking a significant improvement from its long-held 13th position.
The survey, published on 30 June, captures the views of financial institutions across the Asia-Pacific region on operating and regulatory conditions. Vietnam emerged as one of the strongest performers:
→ 42% of respondents expect the business environment to become even easier over the next few years—the highest level of optimism among all markets surveyed, with no respondents expecting conditions to worsen.
→ 45% reported improvements in Vietnam’s capital market development.
→ 36% said the operating environment has already become easier.
The survey results reflect the impact of a series of capital market reforms designed to improve market accessibility and transparency for international investors, including:
- Implementation of the Non-Prefunding Solution (NPS)
• Introduction of the Global Broker Model
• Stronger ESG reporting and disclosure standards
While there is still room for further progress, this ranking provides encouraging evidence that Vietnam’s reform agenda is delivering tangible results. Combined with robust economic growth, resilient FDI inflows, and continued efforts to modernize its capital markets, Vietnam continues to strengthen its position as one of Asia’s most compelling long-term investment destinations.
