Hanoi (VNA) – The US’s Bloomberg has hailed Vietnam as a growth hotspot for branded residences in Asia in its recent article.
🧸 The newswire said Vietnam’s number of high and ultra high network individuals have increased impressively over the past five years, with those amassing over 1 million USD and 30 million USD accounting for 26 percent and 108 percent, respectively. Therefore, owning a branded apartment is considered a “testament” to their class, apart from the purpose of living and pure investment.
