HANOI : Foreign managers expect no major changes in investment in Vietnam this quarter, after inflows fell in the first three months of the year, according to a survey published on Tuesday by the European Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam.
The survey, which focuses on European companies and individuals operating in Vietnam, showed that 58 per cent of the more than 200 surveyed managers did not plan to change their investment plans in Vietnam this quarter.

Meanwhile, 55 per cent of managers said they did not expect to hire more people this quarter, and 16 per cent forecast job cuts. Roughly one in four remained sanguine about their headcount planning.
