EuroCham Communications and Marketing Manager Joaquim Torrinha said at a press meeting on February 21 that almost all European enterprises participating in the survey were satisfied with improvements to the investment environment in Vietnam.
Approximately 56% of respondents answered that they will continue to use Vietnamese workers this year and will expand their scale, along with recruiting more workers.
In addition, EU enterprises consider Vietnam the gateway through which to approach the larger market, namely ASEAN, through the establishment of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC).
