The deal, which will come into force at the beginning of 2022, will be a new economic boom for Vietnam to recover and grow after the pandemic.
Participants of the conference suggested businesses work on learning everything they should know about the RCEP to grasp all the opportunities it brings.
Tran Thi Hong Minh, Director the Central Institute for Economic Management, said, “Opportunities from international economic integration and the RCEP in particular will not be tapped without the preparation, unity, and determination of the businesses.
