Inheriting the 20-year history and tradition of Thời báo Kinh tế Việt Nam, Vietnam Economic Times online will continue to accompany the economic growth of Vietnam with proper reflection of every movement, from structuring the economy with market regulations, developing a multi-sectored economy, improving the quality and effectiveness of the major economic areas to enhancing the regulations, stabilising the macro economy, synchronising economic growth with cultural development. Vietnam Economic Times online proactively contribute to the process toward a comprehensive integration with nations all around the world for an advanced and just society with high living standard for the people. Along with the remarkable achievements are various challenges and difficulties, coming not only from domestic issues but also from the international financial crisis. Being one of the leading economic publications in Vietnam, we deeply understand that and thus we are striving hard every day in order to timely provide enterprises with helpful information of new policies and regulations as well as updates of the market fluctuations so that enterprises can make appropriate adjustments in accordance with the economic, political and social situation. Vietnam Economic Times online would also play the role of a spokesperson for enterprises to express their perspectives and reflect their operations and activities to our readers, who might come out to be a potential customer or a strategic partners, etc. We would also perform as a link between the business community and the government officials, the ministries as well as local authorities in an attempt to help the authorities to timely pass appropriate supporting policies and adjustments. We have been a friend to the business community for more than 20 years; and with the online publication, we are looking forward to being a better one, a companion and a guide over difficulties and challenges to success of all enterprises that are operating and investing in Vietnam.
