4.8 out of 5 stars from 125 ratings
  • Insightful content

    As a Vietnamese living abroad, I found this podcast incredibly insightful with very original perspectives about Vietnam business growth. Just a minor recommendation: host’s voice sometimes is pretty low which is hard for listener to catch up.

  • My favorite podcast about Vietnam business and economy

    There’s not a lot of English content out there about Vietnam. Vietcetera covers it well, in particular about the economy and business.

Scaling Expert: This Is The #1 Rule For Growing Your Business | Andrew Yi Hua Chim | EP 385
Q: What are the biggest markets for Airwallex today and how is Vietnam fitting into the broader strategy?
The US and Europe/EMEA are growing rapidly and accounting for a meaningful share of the business, while China remains a major driver. Vietnam is increasingly important as a hub and growth market with strong local demand, but mature markets still lead in scale and product breadth.
Scaling Expert: This Is The #1 Rule For Growing Your Business | Andrew Yi Hua Chim | EP 385
Q: What does that local licensing unlock for Vietnamese customers and what capabilities does it enable?
The local license allows Airwallex to collect Vietnamese Dong and pay out in Vietnamese Dong, enabling local collection on platforms like Shopee and TikTok and connecting to Vietnamese banks and financial institutions, which is essential for serving domestic entities as well as cross-border ones.
Scaling Expert: This Is The #1 Rule For Growing Your Business | Andrew Yi Hua Chim | EP 385
Q: Let's talk about these FX fees, could you break down how you actually make that possible and reduce those costs?
The key is building a modern payments rail that connects to banks and local payment methods, not just relying on legacy systems like Swift. The more connections you add, the lower the fixed cost per transaction, and the stronger the bargaining power with partners, which lowers overall costs for customers.
After Doi Moi in 1986, Who Built Vietnam From Nothing? | Sam Korsmoe & Sam Van | EP 386
Q: What surprised you about Vietnam's path over the last 40 years?
The capacity for reinvention and the role of individuals and families in building a landscape where private enterprise and talent can flourish despite earlier constraints.
After Doi Moi in 1986, Who Built Vietnam From Nothing? | Sam Korsmoe & Sam Van | EP 386
Q: Why this book? Why now?
The authors wanted to create a platform that showcases Vietnam's innovators, providing a narrative that goes beyond headlines to highlight personal stories, risk-taking, and the country's reform-aligned pathway from Doi Moi to a more dynamic private sector.
