• High competition: Foreign capital companies not only have to compete with other foreign capital competitors in Ho Chi Minh, but also with domestic enterprises, especially long-standing enterprises with prestige and a certain market share in the market

• Tax incentives may not bring much benefit: Vietnam is one of the countries participating in the global minimum tax program Therefore, in 2024, Vietnam will have to impose a minimum tax of 15% tax on businesses with a global turnover of 750 million euros or more. Therefore, large enterprises that have been investing in Ho Chi Minh City will also be affected and will not receive the incentives that Vietnam used to provide them.
