71.5 percent of participating European firms described their current operation as “excellent” and “good”, only 5.5 percent rated “not good” and a very few said “very bad”. 

The majority of responded European enterprises acknowledged that the country’s macroeconomic stability is likely to continue, with nearly 60 percent of respondents forecasting “stabilisation and improvement”.

Approximately 41 percent of polled firms said to maintain their current investment level in Vietnam, while 39 percent planned to pour more money into the market.
