Việt Nam records biggest hike in EIU's global business environment ranking

HÀ NỘI — Việt Nam jumped 12 positions in the latest Global Business Environment Rankings for the second quarter of this year released by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) under the UK’s Economist Group. The rankings, which measure the attractiveness of doing business in 82 countries and economies globally, showed Việt Nam witnessed the largest improvement in the business environment in the past year, followed by Thailand (10 places) and Belgium (six places). The country’s constant inflow of FDI, robust industrial sector and revival of international tourism are expected to sustain Việt Nam’s GDP target of 6.5 per cent this year. Canada and Denmark shared second place. China has the deepest drop globally, falling 11 places from a year earlier.
