Vietnamese firms improve competitiveness under greater integration
VTV.vn - ​ Greater international integration following a number of recently signed FTAs not only allows Vietnamese goods to enter foreign markets, it also opens the door for foreign products to enter Vietnam.

This has posed a big challenge for Vietnamese firms, and means they will have to improve their competitiveness. The following story has more.

Decreases in import tariffs have also made foreign materials cheaper than those produced in Vietnam. This has made many FDI enterprises switch to importing components instead of purchasing from Vietnamese manufacturers as previously.
