A new report from Arup, commissioned by the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), details the current state, challenges, and opportunities for infrastructure development in Vietnam.
Vietnam is one of the fastest-growing economies in Southeast Asia and has achieved great strides in expanding its core infrastructure over the last few decades. Economic success has been accompanied by a rapidly growing and urbanizing population which has resulted in a significant need for new and upgraded infrastructure. As the country already contributes a significant portion of their GDP to infrastructure spending, new channels of investment will be instrumental to facilitate growth.
The report is a timely look into understanding the infrastructure landscape in Vietnam and is a valuable resource in outlining how to navigate the market and what the most promising opportunity areas are.
The report assessed five key sectors of infrastructure: transport, energy, water and waste, social and digital, and highlights insights, opportunities, and bottlenecks into each.
