The Rise and Fall of Vietnam Economy in 2024 (What Happened?)

[@jameswilliams365]

I live part time in the Calmette Quarter in District 1. I count on your videos really assist me in making living in Saigon quite easy. I plan on retiring in Vietnam. I'm 68 and have been establishing my home in Saigon for the last 10 years. Thank you for your continuing advice on daily life in Vietnam. I find this service very useful.

[@donkeykong516]

Without retirement visa, you’re very vulnerable

[@w3s77]

Bro, you have no chance to live in Vietnam long term without getting married.

[@Birdylockso]

Vietnam will offer a retirement visa eventually. They will come around and join the bandwagon, just in time for you.

[@jondoh599]

Retirement visas is not beneficial to a country's development and will be a burden on its healthcare sector and other things.

[@Birdylockso]

@@jondoh599 Many countries are not immune to using quick fixes to solve their problems, unfortunately.

[@2-worlds-on-earth]

Infrastructure development in Vietnam lacks behind many developing Asean countries such as Malaysia, Thailand and Philippines. The only strong plus point about Vietnam is the youth education is 2nd to Singapore in Asean in Pisa score, this said a lot about Vietnam’s future if corruption and frauds are under control.

[@julienguyen5037]

Ken, I enjoy and learn so much from your videos, I’m planning to soon be spending 1/2 of my years in VN, I visited for 3 months last time and very much enjoyed the food, the people and the sights. My wife is Vietnamese and we have thought about buying in VN but would probably rent for a year or two and allow ourselves time enough to make an informed decision. Also the retirement visa certainly sounds like a winner to me.

[@timnic3850]

I love Vietnam and the people. Friendly, helpful and forgiving. I'm studying Vietnamese as I would like to retire there.

[@tbbarabara]

Thank you for mentioning the retirement visa. Please keep us informed! Thank you for your program. If you can somehow get the long term retirement visa through, set up a visa processing office as well as real estate and other legal offerings, it would become even more interesting for you obviously--esp. if Vietnam will allow foreigners to own freehold. You are speaking of business development (BD). Since I worked in the field I am familiar with BD. What would be helpful for me is to have your opinion on--based on research--1) how the individual will best be able to invest in Vietnam and 2) when is the best time for the individual who is of non Vietnamese ancestry to begin investing to maximize that investment? I've traveled the world during the past few years and, Vietnam, seems to have the most potential of any country I see. I like your video. I just can't do Facebook. We have to find an alternative.

[@jamesdond1]

Vietnam still has a very good economic growth despite real estate crisis. Factories moving there are helping a lot. So I am still bullish on Vietnam.

[@tuongchu2867]

It’s changing now… companies and investors are leaving and hesitated to invest because of recent VN’s visit to Russia. Google BlackRock.

[@qn5947]

VN seems to do everything right to attract foreign businesses. They still get an “F” grade for infrastructure improvements. The highways are awful and traffic gridlocks and potholes are pitiful. They are about 30 years behind Thailand in infrastructure and transportation improvements.

I bet you VN economy will beat Thailand in than 20 years

Where's the cons? You said you'd say the good and the bad. College students from good universities and have additional qualifications like cfa level 1 are not able to land internships in companies as well. Is the Vietnam market only focusing on manufacturing with the cheapest labor possible and no other industry at all?

[@NewSpiritNewMan]

Vietnam do not forget your root! The enemies peace is an act of silent invasions. Vietnam should never let anyone ruined your country especially colonialism!

We're receiving news in the US that the internal politics of Vietnam in foreign affairs and foreign business developments is now under a whole different party that is not friendly to foreign investors. Also our manufacturing partners in Vietnam is telling us not to visit Vietnam as Taiwanese, Chinese, and western factories there are getting mobbed. Is this true?

[@user-hp1gn5mg7c]

Biggest set back with investing into Vietnam is the limitations on how much money you can transfer out of the country. Using investment as a carrot stick for retirees not a good solution, I rather just wait for some type of retirement visa.

[@Teolulz]

there will never be a retirement visa. the gov doesn't want to attract all the broke retirees from all over the world. there is no carrot stick. please don't come.

[@martinhanly9543]

The real estate rental market is strong and the sales market is collapsing partly because people like me cannot get retirement visa to live there and are looking elsewhere.

[@Teolulz]

you will never get a retirement visa. don't be bitter 😂

[@ExpatGlobetrotter]

If Vietnam plans properly designing a Retirement Visa by slightly undercutting Thailands financial requirements they can pull both current and future retirees to Vietnam. This will help stimulate Vietnam’s economy due to their need for goods and housing. I think it would be a big mistake to follow the example of Mexico and not only miss the opportunity to pull retirees from Thailand due to the lower cost of living in Vietnam but also a mistake like Mexico, to price retirees out of qualifying for a Vietnam retirement.

[@Zetler]

It’s going to be difficult to beat Thailand as a retirement destination. Aside from the financial requirements Thais do not have stupid laws that restrict the press and freedom of speech.

[@Teolulz]

Thailand is destroyed because of they allowed in a bunch of broke retirees. why would Vietnam want to go that path?

[@ExpatGlobetrotter]

[@yanxuan9347]

In the next five years, Vietnam will collapse for the following reasons: Vietnam's problems are very big, and many traps are waiting for it. Firstly, Vietnam's industrialization is still very low and there are not many high-end industries. The domestic economy relies heavily on foreign companies, so its ability to resist risks is limited. Firstly, Vietnam's biggest problem is taking too big a step, with almost complete liberalization of finance and capital and no regulation. The second issue is internal corruption, and the third is blind development and investment, which includes both the government and ordinary people. Thirdly, the Vietnamese government lacks overall planning. Social changes are happening too quickly, and both the government and the people are facing significant impacts at all levels, making them completely unprepared to cope. There is no risk assessment for the rapid changes caused. When a problem arises, it directly affects the entire country and has no resistance at all. The proportion of foreign investment is too high, and the economic data is all false.

[@Teolulz]

what a pile of cow manure.😂

[@見義]

I am no economist or savvy in politics. But many of your comments about overall planning seem to me like signs of the government is not controlling absolutely everything, giving the population some level of liberty and freedom. Maybe not much but it's a good sign.

I find it funny how they try to equivalate interest rates to inflation.Just because interest rates are low doesn’t mean inflation is low because it’s not.They say inflation in USA is only at about 4% and they also say inflation in the Philippines and Vietnam is only 6%.How can this be when Asian currencies are much weaker than the dollar so how can a country like the USA 🇺🇸 have about the same percentage of inflation because it’s a lie.You cannot mention inflation and interest rates in the same conversation because they are different and effect the economy differently.The other thing to note is weather interest rates are high or low inflation will still be high.Governments raising interest rates doesn’t slow don’t inflation this is a method used in the 1970’s that no longer works.For one main reason because a lot of countries including developing countries are growing the real estate industry a little bit too much.And with so much development of née property that will increase the prices because it will increase the demand for those properties since there are more properties to buy.All of these low percentage numbers I don’t believe them the data being kept is too far off and is severely understating the real concrete experiences that most average citizens actually go through.Even here in the USA 🇺🇸 we are experiencing a much higher effect of inflation way more than 4%.The same as Vietnam,Vietnam actually has inflation above 100%.They never compare prices over a 30 year period only within the last 2-3 years.Because if you go back further you will see prices increase a lot from the 1900’s till 2024.No way none of these countries don’t have no 4,6% inflation 🤔🤣🤣.Most average citizens are struggling to pay rent for one month that doesn’t sound like no 6% to me where are they getting these percentage numbers from I mean seriously.
