Ascentium Vietnam recently welcomed a delegation from Standard Chartered for a business discussion on Vietnam’s first-half market outlook, foreign investment trends and opportunities for collaboration.
From Ascentium Vietnam, Jack Nguyen, CEO and Vivie Wei, COO & Head of China Desk, welcomed representatives from Standard Chartered: Vicky Wong, Global Head of Transaction & Treasury Solutions, SME; Sanjukta, Director of Transaction & Treasury Solutions, both based in Singapore; and Doan Thi Thu Hien, Head of Product & Solution Sales & Channel Development, SME Banking, and Nguyen Ngoc Huong (Kelly), Team Lead Manager, both based in Vietnam.
Sharing perspectives on the investment landscape
The conversation highlighted the continued strength of incoming FDI projects, alongside the practical challenges and opportunities businesses face as they enter and operate in Vietnam.
Against this backdrop, the teams also touched on regulatory considerations affecting foreign investors, including transfer pricing compliance and the use of Direct Investment Capital Accounts to manage capital inflows and profit repatriation. These topics underscored the value of connecting market perspectives with practical guidance on investment and operational requirements.
Exploring joint learning opportunities
Building on the exchange, the teams discussed potential collaboration, including co-hosting webinars in 2027. Such initiatives could bring together complementary advisory and banking perspectives to help businesses better understand Vietnam’s investment environment.
Ascentium Vietnam thanks the Standard Chartered Vietnam team for visiting and sharing their insights. We look forward to continuing the conversation and developing opportunities to support our business communities together.
