[Research Contribution] Unleashing National Inner Strength from the Private Sector: Restructuring Vietnam's Development Model – Part 2

14 Oct 2025

After more than a decade of robust transformation, Vietnam's private sector has evolved from a "recognized position" to a "key driver" of national growth. Its development across three distinct phases—foundational (2010–2015), acceleration (2016–2020), and breakthrough (2021–2024)—not only reflects the sector's maturation but also mirrors the evolution of institutional thinking and the operational capabilities of Vietnamese enterprises in the currents of global integration. From initial limitations to resilient post-pandemic recovery, the private sector has affirmed its indispensable role in GDP growth and economic restructuring. As the economy shifts towards digital growth and innovation in the 2025–2030 period, establishing a strategy to leverage this sector as the "most important driving force" is not just a development requirement but a prerequisite for Vietnam to achieve its goal of becoming a prosperous and sustainable nation by 2045.

[Research Contribution] Unleashing National Inner Strength from the Private Sector: Restructuring Vietnam's Development Model – Part 1

12 Oct 2025

After more than a decade of robust transformation, Vietnam's private sector has evolved from a "recognized position" to a "key driver" of national growth. Its development across three distinct phases—foundational (2010–2015), acceleration (2016–2020), and breakthrough (2021–2024)—not only reflects the sector's maturation but also mirrors the evolution of institutional thinking and the operational capabilities of Vietnamese enterprises in the currents of global integration. From initial limitations to resilient post-pandemic recovery, the private sector has affirmed its indispensable role in GDP growth and economic restructuring. As the economy shifts towards digital growth and innovation in the 2025–2030 period, establishing a strategy to leverage this sector as the "main driving force" is not just a development requirement but a prerequisite for Vietnam to achieve its goal of becoming a prosperous and sustainable nation by 2045. In Part 1 of this study by researchers from the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH), we will explore the development of the private sector within Vietnam's economic trajectory.

[Research Contribution] Climate Transition Risk and Bank Risk-Taking: The Role of Digital Transformation – A Perspective from Vietnam

10 Oct 2025

In the context of escalating global climate change, climate transition risk (CTR) has emerged as a critical component of bank risk management. Vietnam, with its commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, is witnessing a growing interest from commercial banks in integrating environmental factors into their business operations while controlling risk. Building on this context, a study by researchers from UEH Mekong, University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH), analyzes the impact of CTR on banks' risk-taking levels—including total risk, systemic risk, firm-specific risk, and Z-score—under the moderating effect of digital transformation within the Vietnamese commercial banking system.

[Research Contribution] Does perceived CSR motivate Gen Z consumers to purchase a premium of perceived sustainable products? An empirical research from Vietnam?

09 Oct 2025

Modern social contexts expect businesses to operate with a higher sense of responsibility. Many large corporations have committed to annual corporate social responsibility (CSR), but its effectiveness is yet to be measured. Faced with this "problem," a team of student researchers from the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) conducted the research topic "Do CSR activities impact Gen Z's sustainable purchase intention and willingness to pay more?" Experimental Research in Vietnam" to clarify how CSR contributes to shaping brand trust, strengthening brand image and brand loyalty, and thereby influencing the sustainable consumption behavior of Gen Z in Vietnam.
