In the first ten months of the year, Vietnam exported about USD 94 billion to the US market, an increase of 21.7% compared to the same period in 2021. Last year, as the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted global production and supply chains, bilateral trade nevertheless exceeded USD 111 billion.
These numbers clearly show that American companies value their supply links in Vietnam. This was highlighted by experts at the recent Vietnam – US Business Forum, with the theme “Change – Challenge – Adaptation”.
Pamela Phan, US deputy assistant secretary of commerce for Asian affairs, said the past two years of the health crisis had seen supply chains hit hard. However, trade between Vietnam and the US has increased further than expected, which shows that the US market has a great need for trade with Vietnam.
During her second visit to Vietnam during her term as governor of the state of Oregon, Kate Brown told that many big American companies such as Apple, Nike, Dell, Intel… have chosen Vietnam as an investment destination. The more American companies bring capital to Vietnam, the more opportunities Vietnamese companies have to participate more deeply in global supply chains and improve their level and adaptability.
More importantly, American companies are constantly expanding investment sectors. By hosting many FDI companies, Vietnam will become an important manufacturing center, laying a solid foundation for receiving more new orders, attracting new capital flows from the US and many other markets.
Adapt to the new collaboration space
