Deputy PM calls for stronger Prudential investment in Vietnam
VOV.VN - Deputy Prime Minister Ho Duc Phoc has expressed hope that Prudential Group would continue to step up its business operations in Vietnam, while also cooperating with, supporting, and accompanying the Vietnamese Government in the period ahead.
At a reception given to CEO of Prudential Group Anil Wadhwani in Hanoi on January 8, the host leader praised and acknowledged Prudential’s operations in Vietnam over more than two decades, as well as the group’s contributions to the country’s socio-economic development as well as the insurance market.
He said that despite multiple challenges, Vietnam achieved solid socio-economic results in 2025, with growth of about 8.02%, state budget revenue exceeding the target by more than 35%, inflation kept under control, total import-export turnover reaching around US$920 billion, a trade surplus of more than US$20 billion, and public debt declining to about 34%.
Ho noted that Vietnam is accelerating investment in infrastructure, including railways, expressways, airports and seaports, while directing capital inflows toward science and technology, innovation and digital transformation.
He added that the country has established an international financial center, is boosting the development of free trade zones, and is drafting regulatory frameworks for the management of virtual assets.
The Deputy PM reaffirmed that the Government consistently creates favorable conditions for enterprises to conduct production and business activities efficiently in Vietnam, without discrimination among economic sectors, and that all businesses are equal before the law.
For his part, Anil Wadhwani told Phoc that Prudential is proud to be a leading insurance company in Vietnam, and affirmed the group’s commitment to continued investment in the country in order to serve the people and contribute to Vietnam’s economic development.
