The trade pacts will allow Vietnam to boost its Gross Domestic Products (GDP) by 23 billion USD in 2020 and over 33 billion USD in 2025 while the country also expects to add approximately 70 billion USD into its export revenue.
Vietnam is likely to be the biggest winner of the TPP as the reduced custom duties will trigger more exports of Vietnamese products.
According to the World Bank, the TPP may expand Vietnam’s GDP and exports by 33.6 billion USD and 68 billion USD, respectively, in 2025, as the zero customs duties in large markets like the United States, Japan and Canada would create a huge advantage for the country’s exports, particularly of key industries including clothing, footwear and timber products.
Besides, Vietnamese consumers and businesses will have access to high-quality goods and input materials with lower prices, while a new wave of foreign investment into the country is also expected.
