Vietnam’s stable economic policies a saving grace for investors amid leadership turmoil

[HO CHI MINH CITY] Foreign investors in Vietnam have weathered turbulent times in recent years amid its intense anti-graft drive and yet another leadership ouster less than a week ago, but investor sentiment towards the country is largely expected to remain resilient.

Analysts said that investor interest in one of South-east Asia’s fastest-growing economies will unlikely suffer a dent, as long as Vietnam’s key economic policies remain consistent, and do not shift with the leadership upheaval.

A blow struck Vietnam last week as Vo Van Thuong quit as state president after just a year in office.
