The Communist Party of Australia (CPA), representatives of associations in Australia and Solomon Islands, and Party members of Vietnamese Party cells in Australia, have conveyed their confidence and high expectations for the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) in Hanoi from January 19-25.

Vietnamese small businesses experienced a successful 2024, with 82% reporting growth, up from 77% in 2023 - the country’s highest result since 2019, according to annual small business survey of CPA Australia - one of the largest professional accounting bodies in the world.

Vietnamese small business owners overwhelmingly expect to grow in 2023, with a new survey showing they are the most confident in their local economy across the surveyed markets in the Asia-Pacific.
