It has been one and a half month since the Russia – Ukraine crisis started. The US, EU and international community have recently ramped up sanctions against Russia, including banning the imports of Russian fossil fuels, excluding seven Russian banks from the SWIFT international payments system, or banning the exports of certain goods and services to Russia, etc. According to experts, sooner or later, this conflict may “fundamentally alter” the global economic and political order. As a country with high economic openness, deeply integrated into the global economy, Vietnamese businesses may also confront certain impacts. While it’s still early to determine long-term effects, the short-term effects may play a key role in how the economy is moving forward.

• Chances coming to Vietnamese businesses?
• Difficulties that Vietnamese companies may confront? (in terms of payment, transaction activities or other possible sanctions
