Vietnam aims to develop globally competitive economic groups, targeting 2 million active enterprises by 2030, including 20 large corporations in global value chains. Recent resolutions emphasize building strong state-owned enterprises and enhancing private sector capabilities. Notable companies like VinFast and THACO exemplify this ambition. However, experts warn that many enterprises remain small and weak, necessitating a shift in support policies towards targeted assistance for leading businesses. Mastering technology and strategic industry selection are crucial for Vietnam's economic advancement.

Despite challenges like limited financial capacity and low localization rates, domestic enterprises are now capable of building advanced vessels. The government is proposing policies to support the sector's development, which could contribute significantly to GDP growth and the country's overall development strategy.

Hanoi authorities have reversed a plan to ban petrol motorbikes in favor of electric two-wheelers due to public opposition and infrastructure delays. Initially aimed at reducing air pollution, the revised proposal now only restricts petrol bikes on 11 streets during limited hours. The decision highlights challenges in transitioning to electric vehicles in Vietnam, where motorbikes dominate transportation. Concerns over maintenance, charging infrastructure, and safety issues with electric bikes persist among residents.

The government bond market in Vietnam saw short-term yields rise during the week of May 4-8, as primary auction demand weakened amid cautious investor sentiment. The State Treasury offered VNĐ18.5 trillion in bonds but only VNĐ7.1 trillion was bid, resulting in a low winning ratio of 29.73%. The 10-year bond yield increased to 4.17%, while the five-year yield rose to 3.89%. The Treasury plans to offer VNĐ16.5 trillion in the next auction cycle. Overall, government bond yields are expected to remain stable or increase slightly in the near term, particularly for five to ten-year maturities.

Manufacturers in Vietnam experienced a decline in new orders in April, with the Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) falling to 50.5, the lowest in seven months. This drop is attributed to inflationary pressures, particularly rising fuel and oil costs, which have reached 15-year highs. While production continued to grow for the twelfth consecutive month, the rate of expansion slowed significantly. New export orders also decreased, and firms reduced staffing levels in response to falling demand. Concerns over the Middle East conflict further dampened optimism among manufacturers, although some still anticipate future output growth.

The Vietnamese government has introduced Resolution No 19/2026/NQ-CP, effective from April 29, 2026, to simplify administrative procedures and ease business conditions in the petroleum sector. Key changes include the elimination of several licensing requirements for general petroleum agents and streamlined processes for primary traders and distributors. While infrastructure requirements remain for wholesale traders, conditions related to leasing ports and storage facilities have been abolished. Experts believe these reforms could lower compliance costs and enhance market flexibility, but emphasize the need for robust post-inspection mechanisms to ensure safety and environmental standards are maintained.
