The Investor (theinvestor.vn), an English-language business publication in Vietnam, marked its one-year anniversary on Thursday.

The publication aims to provide real-time business news in Vietnam, ASEAN and beyond, including the macroeconomy, foreign direct investment, the real estate and stock markets, banking and finance, M&As, IPOs, and government policies, as well as in-depth analysis.

Under the Vietnam's Association of Foreign Invested Enterprises (VAFIE), the publication strives to serve foreign investors, foreign invested companies, and Vietnamese enterprises that have ties with foreign partners and markets.

The Investor's first cover story from May 4, 2022.

Dr. Nguyen Anh Tuan, editor in chief, said the publication supports and protects the legitimate rights and interests of investors and businesses.

"Since the very beginning, it has been positioned as an in-depth and reliable information channel. Our journalism philosophy is defined as 'Information for Prosperity'," he said.

The Investor's launch on May 4, 2022 was part of the fifth anniversary of Nha dau tu (nhadautu.vn), The Investor's Vietnamese-language sister site. The older publication has become a forum for investors to actively contribute to improving policies and disseminating laws and regulations, thus improving the local business climate.
