Achieving the global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) could create millions of jobs, expedite growth trajectories and unlock trillions of dollars in market opportunities. Yet, with less than eight years left to meet the SDGs, the need for sustainable flows of private capital remains more critical than ever before. Unlocking private capital requires robust market intelligence and strong investment relationships.

The Vietnam Investor Map has been developed through research and a consultative process with 30 government stakeholders, think tanks, enterprises, and leading impact and commercial investors to produce tangible market intelligence. Such insights provide tangible investment opportunities that lie at the intersection of government policy priorities, development needs to be framed through the SDG targets for Vietnam, and the role of the private sector. The highlighted Investment Opportunity Areas (IOAs) can help address gaps in capital flows towards the achievement of the Vietnam government’s commitment to achieving the SDGs using commercial business models that can create deep development impact and optimal shareholder value.
