Last year, at the HCM City Economic Forum 2018, local and foreign experts and businesses gave their opinions on the formulation of the project aimed at developing the entire eastern area of the city. This side of the city is the main focus of a number of institutes, a hi-tech park, and creative urban areas.
During this year's forum, the long-term goal of turning Ho Chi Minh City into a regional and international financial hub will come under scrutiny.
