      About the Australia-Vietnam Investment Clearing House

      The Australia Vietnam Policy Institute is collaborating with the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade to seek your input on how increased cross-border investment between Australia and Vietnam can be better supported by both governments and support evidence-based policy-making.

      We’re seeking insights from Australian and Vietnamese businesses on the challenges industry are facing when investing in either country. Your response will directly support the development of policy interventions that boost investment outcomes in Australia and Vietnam and support economic growth.

      Take the survey, and contribute your insights to an exciting new initiative designed to develop a more streamlined, effective cross-border investment landscape for Australia and Vietnam.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Why fill out this survey? plus minuse
      The Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) has provided support to the AVPI to design and develop an Investment Clearing House portal.

      Responses received via the portal will be discussed confidentially by the AVPI’s Industry Reference Group – a group of prominent business leaders active across the Australia-Vietnam economic relationship. All survey responses will be viewed and discussed by the Reference Group before being presented to DFAT to directly inform government-to-government advocacy on more effective trade and investment policies.
      I haven’t invested in Vietnam or Australia yet, is this survey still relevant for me to fill out? plus minuse
      Yes! We’re seeking a broad range of responses, from organisations that have had an investment relationship with Vietnam and/or Australia for a long period of time, right through to those who are in the early stages of their journey. We are seeking both known and experienced challenges, as well as those that you perceive or expect to face. Your unique perspective will assist us in both identifying areas where better information, context and communication is needed, and where policy intervention may be required to facilitate market entry and successful investment outcomes.
      Will the survey results be made accessible to the public? plus minuse
      Your identity and answers will remain de-identified. Should the AVPI or DFAT wish to discuss your insights further or cooperate with your organisation as a case study, we will contact you. The results of this survey will be shared with the DFAT with the view to influence policy decisions regarding investment into Vietnam.
      What led to the initiation of this survey? plus minuse
      In May 2023, the AVPI launched the Australia-Vietnam Business Champions Recommendation Report, presenting 15 recommendations for intensifying commercial engagement across the Australia-Vietnam relationship. Recommendation 5 from the Australian Business Champions was to Establish a ‘Clearing House’ to Support Investment. This survey is the first step in establishing this mechanism to understand and address investment challenges. To read more about this initiative head to our About page.
