UOB Vietnam event explores second half investment landscape
UOB Vietnam has hosted its Mid Year Investment Outlook event bringing together experts to share perspectives on the global economy and investment landscape for the second half of 2026
The UOB Vietnam event, held on September 17 as part of the UOB Privilege Conversations series, gathered leading economists and investment specialists to discuss key developments shaping the global economy. The speakers highlighted resilient but uneven global growth, geopolitical uncertainties, evolving trade policies, supply chain adjustments, and softer growth in China.
Looking ahead, continued investment in AI is expected to remain a key driver of global economic activity through 2027. UOB experts remain positive on Vietnam's medium-term outlook, with a revised full-year GDP growth forecast of 8.5% for the country, driven by continued infrastructure investment, resilient foreign direct investment inflows, growing AI-related demand, and ongoing supply chain diversification into ASEAN.
