Talking about Vietnam’s efforts to stabilize its banking and financial systems, Woolf said that what Vietnam has done in focusing on financial services is the right move.

Woolf said UK investors are waiting for the signing of a Free Trade Agreement between Vietnam and the EU, and that this agreement will bring great benefits to Vietnam and the countries of Europe.
