Exploring Vietnam’s Economic Transformation and Investment Potential

HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam, June 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dragon Capital is pleased to announce the release of Vietnam, Asia’s Ascending Dragon, a compelling new film by renowned financial journalist and commentator David Stevenson.

In this insightful documentary, Stevenson travels to Vietnam to examine the nation’s remarkable evolution since Đổi Mới 1.0 and explores what lies ahead as Đổi Mới 2.0 takes shape. With a population of over 100 million, a dynamic economy, and rapid growth, Vietnam stands at a pivotal moment—can it escape the middle-income trap and ascend to the next stage of development?

Stevenson engages with influential asset managers, corporate leaders, and financial experts to uncover the opportunities and challenges facing this fast-emerging market. The film offers a unique perspective on Vietnam’s economic trajectory, investment landscape, and the structural reforms driving its future.
