Post-Tet Economic Activity in Vietnam: VN-Index and Investment Surge

Post-Tet Surge in Transport and Tourism Following the Lunar New Year (Tet) celebrations across Vietnam, transport networks have experienced a significant uptick in activity.
Tran Hoang, Deputy Director of the Hanoi Bus Terminal Joint Stock Company, stated that the increase in passenger numbers was anticipated and managed smoothly through additional services.
A similar surge was observed in the tourism hub of Phu Quoc.
Between February 14 and 22, Phu Quoc International Airport handled 767 flights and more than 260,000 passengers, marking one of the busiest periods of the season.
Agricultural Exports and the Durian Market In Dong Thap province, durian prices have risen due to limited supply and growing export demand.
As exporters strive to complete the year's first major shipments, purchase prices at orchards have been driven upward, leading to intense competition at collection centers to fill containers.
While some centers experienced stagnation due to supply shortages, the market remained active as businesses accepted higher prices to meet demand.
Investment and Stock Market Performance Ho Chi Minh City continues to attract large-scale Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in data centers, digital infrastructure, and financial technology.
These investments are expected to enhance the city's long-term competitiveness.
In the financial markets, the first trading day of the new lunar year was met with strong investor interest.
The VN-Index closed at 1,860.14 points, an increase of 36.05 points, with total trading volume reaching 23.5 trillion VND.
