Escalating geopolitical tensions, particularly in the Middle East, are contributing to rising fuel prices, which are feeding directly into higher logistics costs and broader inflation.<\/p>\n<p>These pressures are now flowing through to consumer sentiment and spending, creating a more challenging and uncertain environment for businesses. While many companies remain on track against current revenue targets, the sharp decline in confidence highlights growing concern about the year ahead.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h1 data-start=\"86\" data-end=\"142\">Vietnam outlook: CEOs turn sharply pessimistic as pressures intensify<\/h1>\n<p data-start=\"254\" data-end=\"561\">The business outlook among CEOs in Vietnam has deteriorated significantly in the first quarter of 2026, reaching its lowest level since the survey began in 2022. The data points to a broad based decline in confidence, with both global and domestic concerns weighing heavily on expectations for the year ahead.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"254\" data-end=\"561\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-29436 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cimigo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Cimigo-CEO-Pulse-Q1-2026-Business-confidence-1024x378.jpg\" alt=\"Cimigo CEO Pulse Q1 2026 Vitam Outlook - Business confidence\" width=\"640\" height=\"236\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cimigo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Cimigo-CEO-Pulse-Q1-2026-Business-confidence-1024x378.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cimigo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Cimigo-CEO-Pulse-Q1-2026-Business-confidence-300x111.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cimigo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Cimigo-CEO-Pulse-Q1-2026-Business-confidence-768x283.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cimigo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Cimigo-CEO-Pulse-Q1-2026-Business-confidence-1320x487.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/www.cimigo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Cimigo-CEO-Pulse-Q1-2026-Business-confidence-600x221.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.cimigo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Cimigo-CEO-Pulse-Q1-2026-Business-confidence.jpg 1520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"563\" data-end=\"936\">Four in ten CEOs expect business conditions to worsen over the next 12 months, while only two in ten anticipate improvement. This marks a clear shift from previous quarters and reflects a more fragile outlook across sectors. The downturn in sentiment is not confined to external risks alone, but signals growing unease about the operating environment within Vietnam.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"563\" data-end=\"936\">Vietnam far better than the global outlook<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"938\" data-end=\"1309\">Global conditions remain a major source of concern. Nearly three quarters of CEOs expect the global economy to deteriorate, reinforcing fears around trade disruption, slower demand, and financial instability. Geopolitical tensions, particularly in the Middle East, are a key factor driving this shift. Continued conflict has pushed fuel prices higher, increasing volatility in energy markets.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"938\" data-end=\"1309\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-29437 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cimigo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Cimigo-CEO-Pulse-Q1-2026-Economic-confidence-1024x467.jpg\" alt=\"Cimigo CEO Pulse Q1 2026 Vietnam Outlook - Economic confidence\" width=\"640\" height=\"292\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cimigo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Cimigo-CEO-Pulse-Q1-2026-Economic-confidence-1024x467.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cimigo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Cimigo-CEO-Pulse-Q1-2026-Economic-confidence-300x137.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cimigo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Cimigo-CEO-Pulse-Q1-2026-Economic-confidence-768x350.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cimigo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Cimigo-CEO-Pulse-Q1-2026-Economic-confidence-1536x701.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.cimigo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Cimigo-CEO-Pulse-Q1-2026-Economic-confidence-1320x602.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/www.cimigo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Cimigo-CEO-Pulse-Q1-2026-Economic-confidence-600x274.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.cimigo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Cimigo-CEO-Pulse-Q1-2026-Economic-confidence.jpg 1550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"938\" data-end=\"1309\">The outlook towards the Vietnamese economy is also weakening, indicating that businesses are already feeling the effects of these global pressures locally.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"938\" data-end=\"1309\"><strong>War and cost pressures already weigh on businesses<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"938\" data-end=\"1309\">These concerns are reflected in the risks identified by CEOs.

As fuel prices increase, so do the costs of shipping, warehousing, and distribution. These pressures are feeding into broader inflation, raising input costs across industries. Companies are facing a squeeze on margins, with limited ability to pass on higher costs without affecting demand.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2005\" data-end=\"2383\">The impact is now extending to consumers. As inflation rises, purchasing power is reduced, leading to more cautious spending behaviour. This is particularly significant in Vietnam, where consumer demand plays a central role in economic growth. Weaker consumer sentiment is already emerging as a key risk, reinforcing a cycle of slowing demand and intensifying price competition.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"2385\" data-end=\"2666\">Vietnam outlook Q1 2026<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"3057\" data-end=\"3365\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">The overall outlook for Vietnam is one of mounting strain.
