1️⃣ Shifting trend: from export to direct investment πŸ’Ό

* Central Retail focuses on expanding GO! and Tops Market, withdrew from the Nguyen Kim electronics segment
* Siam Commercial Bank turns to digital finance, stops the Home Credit deal
* Siam Cement Group adjusted plans at the Long Son project according to market fluctuations


4️⃣ Why has Vietnam become a "strategic destination"? 🌏


* Population size of more than 100 million people β†’ large purchasing power
* Stable GDP growth of 5–7% β†’ sustainable market
* Central location in ASEAN β†’ convenient supply chain


5️⃣ Strategic perspective πŸ€”


Vietnam is shifting its role from "consumer market" to "regional production and operation base". Thai businesses not only compete but also seek to put down long-term roots, creating a deep impact in retail, industry and finance.


πŸ“Œ This means: competition will become more and more fierce, but it also opens up great opportunities for cooperation and upgrading the domestic value chain.
