Abstract

This paper analyzes the trade dynamics between Vietnam and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) member countries over the past five years. By conducting a detailed examination of trade volumes, balance of trade, product categories, and bilateral trade indices, this study uncovers significant trends and patterns in Vietnam’s economic interactions with its RCEP partners. The findings of this study highlight the current situation of Vietnam’s trade within the RCEP framework, identifying key areas of growth and potential challenges. The study also provides potential prospects for Vietnam’s trade relations with RCEP members. The policy recommendations are suggested to help policymakers formulate strategies that optimize the opportunities presented by the RCEP agreement, contributing to the development of Vietnam’s economy.
