Mr. Đinh Hồng Kỳ gives an interview to the newspaper Đầu Tư Online on January 5, 2026
The year 2026 is expected to mark a period in which policy frameworks related to the green economy, circular economy, energy transition, and sustainable finance continue to be refined in a clearer and more stable direction. When policies are translated into concrete mechanisms such as incentives, preferential policies, and market-based instruments, businesses will gain the confidence needed to make long-term investments in technological innovation, process improvements, and enhanced governance capacity.
— Mr. Đinh Hồng Kỳ, Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City Green Business Association (HGBA)
In 2026, the first driving force for businesses will come from the market. This creates significant pressure for Vietnamese enterprises but also opens opportunities to comprehensively upgrade their business models. Companies that can effectively control environmental data, maintain transparent supply chain management, and meet international standards will have clear advantages in retaining orders, expanding markets, and participating more deeply in global value chains.
The second driving force will come from policy. The year 2026 is expected to be a stage in which policy frameworks for the green economy, circular economy, energy transition, and sustainable finance become more complete, transparent, and stable. When policies go beyond general direction and are translated into concrete incentives, preferential mechanisms, and market tools, businesses will have sufficient confidence to make long-term investments in technology innovation, operational improvements, and stronger governance systems.
The third driving force comes from the internal strength of businesses themselves. After a period of strong economic fluctuations, many companies have restructured operations, strengthened governance, and tightened financial discipline. This serves as a critical foundation for businesses to enter a new growth phase with a more sustainable mindset. When green transformation is viewed as a long-term growth strategy rather than a short-term cost, companies will become more proactive in investing in technology, optimizing operations, and increasing value creation.
