EuroCham vows to help Vietnam’s economic development

Eurocham’s director Nicholas Greenfield made this pledge on the 10 th anniversary of EuroCham operations in Vietnam on December 16, adding that the best way to develop the Vietnamese economy is its commitment to create an equal playing field for both domestic and foreign enterprises. 
 
Together with helping EuroCham’s associates to develop and promote their operations in Vietnam , the chamber will create optimal policies to help develop the country’s economy, based on the experiences of EU member countries and European businesses, he said. 
 
It will also provide the knowledge of leading European enterprises to the Vietnamese private economic sector, he added. 
 
EuroCham is a representative of more than 600 businesses operating in Vietnam . It has actively supported the private economic sector, which serves European investors’ interests, promoted business cooperation between Vietnamese and European businesses, as well as raised the country’s competitive capacity within the global market. 
 
During 2008, the chamber organised many events and chaired meetings attended by Vietnamese government officials. 
 
It also published a book, entitled “Commercial issues and recommendations”, which has collected the opinions of leading European investors and introduced recommendations to develop 13 key economic sectors, such as banking, infrastructure and distribution and retail.
