Expanded VND capabilities: Ushering in new opportunities amid stronger Singapore-Vietnam economic ties

Business opportunities are blooming as trade links between Singapore and Vietnam reach new highs.  

In January 2024, Vietnam became Singapore’s 10^th largest trading partner as two-way trade grew 18% over the previous year to reach SGD 2.9 billion. These links are set to deepen as imports and exports between both countries reach new highs.

For instance, Vietnam's exports of iron and steel to Singapore increased by over 30 times in January alone. Machinery, equipment, mobile phones, components and spare parts exports grew over 50% to SGD 255.2 million as well.

The largest segment of Vietnam's imports from Singapore, which was also machinery, equipment, mobile phones, components and spare parts, recorded growth of 19.82% year-on-year. Other segments such as steam, machine tools and equipment and spare parts of machines increased by nearly 32%.
