Viet Nam is investing heavily in infrastructure, such as highways and sea ports, to provide an efficient business environment for investors. From 2012 to 2016, Viet Nam’s infrastructure spending growth was among the fastest in ASEAN, at 11.5% p.a., nearly double its GDP growth.

This has helped boost the country’s World Bank Logistics Performance Index ranking in 2018 by 25 spots to the 39th position among 160 countries, putting Viet Nam ahead Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines.
