A recent Citi Global Perspectives and Solutions (GPS) report highlights the key impact of global trade shifts on Southeast Asian countries. Vietnam and India share the greatest similarities in industrial structure and would benefit most from a shift in Chinese production. + Manufacturing Relocation: Vietnam has become a primary destination for Chinese firms relocating operations, capturing 37% of such moves since 2018, leading to increased imports from China and exports to the US. + Domestic Value Added: Despite rising exports, Vietnam's domestic value added has declined, indicating that many products may be primarily Chinese, raising concerns about the authenticity of its export growth. + Trade Agreements: The EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) has improved Vietnam's access to European markets, while the US is scrutinizing potential countervailing tariffs on goods perceived to be circumventing trade regulations through Vietnam. + Sector Growth: The electronics manufacturing sector is a key area of growth, with Vietnam competing with other ASEAN countries and India for market share, particularly in mobile phones and electronics. #vietnam #india #globaltrade #chinaplusone

However, instead of reshoring jobs to the U.S., the policies are likely to accelerate the shift of manufacturing from China to Vietnam. Due to having a strategic location, business-friendly policies, and developed infrastructure, including major ports and renewable energy initiatives, Vietnam has become a hotspot for foreign investment. Companies like 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗲, 𝗦𝗮𝗺𝘀𝘂𝗻𝗴, 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗹, and 𝗙𝗼𝘅𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻 have already established a significant presence in Vietnam, while new projects and investments signal further growth: • 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗫 announced a $𝟭.𝟱 𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 investment in Vietnam. • 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝗺𝗽 𝗢𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 is developing a $𝟭.𝟱 𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 luxury real estate project near Hanoi. • 𝗟𝗲𝗴𝗼 is nearing completion of its $𝟭 𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 factory in Binh Duong, set to launch next year. • 𝗠𝗮𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗸 opened its first bonded warehouse in Hai Phong, with 𝗔𝗺𝗮𝘇𝗼𝗻 𝗩𝗶𝗲𝘁𝗻𝗮𝗺 as its initial client. Vietnam's efforts to attract high-value industries, including biotechnology, AI, and semiconductors, along with its free-trade agreement with the EU, further enhance its appeal. The country is well-positioned to solidify its role as a global manufacturing hub, benefiting from the geopolitical shift triggered by the U.S.-China trade tensions. #Vietnam #Investment #FDI #InternationalBusiness #InvestmentBanking

Over the first nine months of the year, the economy expanded by 6.82% YoY, reflecting the nation’s ability to navigate challenges and sustain robust growth. 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗘𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 sectors were key drivers, achieving a 9.11% increase and contributing nearly 50% of overall GDP growth.

🚨 𝗕𝗶𝗴 𝗗𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘁: 𝗧𝗣𝗚 𝗣𝗼𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗔𝗰𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗲 $𝟮 𝗕𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘁 𝗮 $𝟭𝟱 𝗕𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻! 🚨 Exciting developments in the wealth management sector as buyout firm 𝗧𝗣𝗚 is reportedly leading the race to acquire a minority stake in 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴, in a deal that values the wealth management firm at over $𝟭𝟱 𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻. This would be TPG’s second major investment in the wealth management industry within a week, following its recent acquisition of a stake in 𝗛𝗼𝗺𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗕𝗲𝗿𝗴. Creative Planning, based in Overland Park, Kansas, manages over $𝟯𝟬𝟬 𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 in assets and offers services ranging from financial and tax planning to retirement consulting for businesses. The firm has been expanding rapidly, including a notable acquisition of the personal financial unit of Goldman Sachs in 2023. TPG’s potential stake comes as private equity firms show growing interest in wealth managers, who generate steady cash flow and can expand quickly through acquisitions. If the deal is finalized, TPG will join 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝘁𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰, which acquired a minority stake in Creative Planning in 2020, as one of the firm’s key investors. This move continues to highlight the increasing demand for wealth management investments and the opportunity for private equity to gain exposure in this growing sector.
