Advocacy

Nineteen Sector Committees, and the Whitebook they write.

We enhance Vietnam’s business climate by effectively representing our members’ interests to decision-makers. We represent European businesses on trade and investment issues in Vietnam by connecting them with relevant authorities, and provide targeted advocacy services through our 19 Sector Committees.

I · The committees

Where a position starts

The chamber publishes the number of its committees and the work they do, and keeps the roster on its own menu. Twelve are named here because those twelve sign their own entries on the chamber’s news archive, each with a date. The other seven are not listed, because listing them would mean inventing them.

IV · The serials

An annual volume and a quarterly index

The two things the advocacy produces, in their own description of each.

The cover of EuroCham Vietnam’s Whitebook 2026, seventeenth edition, Reform and UpliftWhitebook 2026, the seventeenth edition
The Whitebook
Our annual Whitebook is a comprehensive overview of how European businesses operate in Vietnam. It provides a sector-by-sector breakdown of the most pressing issues, plus recommendations for government action. It is presented to the Vietnamese government at our yearly launch event.
The Business Confidence Index
The Business Confidence Index (BCI) is a regular barometer of the business sentiment among European companies operating in Vietnam. Because of the active participation of EuroCham members in this survey since 2011, the BCI is seen by decision-makers, media, and business professionals in Vietnam as a key indicator of economic activity in the country.
V · This year

The current editions

The 2026 Whitebook and the second quarter of the Business Confidence Index, as the chamber describes them.

2026
Whitebook 2026

The 2026 edition, titled “Reform & Uplift: A New Era for Vietnam in the Global Economy”, offers structured policy recommendations rooted in business realities. These insights are designed to complement the Government’s ongoing reform efforts in reinforcing the transparent, predictable, and efficient regulatory environment required to translate investment commitments into tangible socio-economic outcomes.

Q2 2026
Business Confidence Index, Q2 2026

Marking the 15-year anniversary of EuroCham’s flagship Business Confidence Index (BCI), the Q2 2026 report reveals a renewed surge in European business confidence, underscoring Vietnam’s resilience amid one of the most volatile global operating environments in recent years.

VI · The Helpdesk

The South-East Asia IP SME Helpdesk

A European Union project the chamber implements, described in its own words.

The South-East Asia IP SME Helpdesk supports small and medium sized enterprises from the European Union and the other countries of the Single Market Programme to both protect and enforce their Intellectual Property rights in or relating to South-East Asian countries, through the provision of free information and services. EuroCham Vietnam is implementing partner of the SEA IP SME Helpdesk project.

Members sit on the committees. The committees write the Whitebook.
