Up to 78 percent of businesses have been positive about Vietnam's economy. 87% of respondents said that investment activities in Vietnam will increase significantly in the next 12 months, with the 3 most attractive sectors - Food & Beverage, Retail, and Healthcare & Pharmaceuticals. This positive investment outlook has been achieved through recent free trade agreements Vietnam has signed including FTAs with South Korea, Japan, the EU and Russia. Investors were disappointed with the TPP's unclear future. However, it has no negative impact on the overall foreign investment attraction of Vietnam.
