Hanoi was ranked third while HCM City was ranked eighth, making
Vietnam the strongest performer with two cities ranking the highest in ASEAN,
said JLL.
In its report, JLL said that the two
cities in Vietnam performed very well for socio-economic momentum, with
fast-growing populations and economies.
"HCM City is generally viewed as
the more business-friendly destination attracting more overseas investment
along with a higher corporate presence, whereas Hanoi has lagged commercially
but is a city that is swiftly evolving."
On the real estate front, Vietnam has
"a small real estate investment market struggling with issues such as low
transparency and a limited volume of investment grade stock," JLL added.
However, steps are being taken to
improve transparency, such as enhanced access to the land registry, better
valuation practices and increasing application of green building certification
system, it said.
Two other ASEAN countries also made the
top 20 list in JLL’s index. The Philippines was represented by Manila in 12th
place and Thailand by Bangkok in 18th place.
According to JLL, the City Momentum
Index looks at 20 indicators including recent percentage changes in city GDP,
population, air passengers and corporate headquarters presence; projected
percentage changes in GDP, population and retail sales; and recent levels of
and changes in foreign direct investment, as a proportion of a city’s economy.
Other were recent and projected percentage
changes in office net absorption, office rents, retail rents and hotel rooms;
international retailer presence; and recent changes in direct commercial real
estate investment volumes and real estate transparency.

The people in Hoa Binh province are aware of the need to build and preserve the cultural traditions and unique customs of their communities, especially those related to ethnic identities and family values which serve as foundation for a vibrant, tradition-rich Hoa Binh, enriching community life. In recent years, the province’s Party Committee, authorities, and residents have paid heed to building and developing family values and fostering human standards in the new era.
The festival of great national solidarity and culture in 2024 was held at the communal house of Da Bac district on November 5. Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Van Toan and leaders of departments and sectors attended the event.
The Labor Federation of Da Bac district has focused on protecting workers' rights while actively participating in patriotic emulation movements to enhance the creativity and productivity of the local workforces across agencies, organisations and enterprises.
In recent years, the Women's Union of Yen Thuy district has actively contributed to the implementation of the National Target Program on building new the rural areas. The Union's activities not only help raise awareness of environmental protection for the members, the women, and the people but they also contribute to improving the appearance of rural areas and improving the quality of life.
The model of intergenerational self-help club (ISC) has been expanded in Mai Chau district over recent times, contributing to sharing and motivating the disadvantaged people, especially the elderly, to improve their lives.
Following President Ho Chi Minh’s teachings that emulation is patriotism, patriotism requires emulation, the trade union at all levels in Hoa Binh has effectively implemented patriotism emulation movements, especially the "effective, creative working” movement. Responding to the movement, local workers, public servants, and officials have proposed many creative and applicable ideas, helping spread the movement to all agencies, units, and businesses.
