The economy of Luxembourg is largely dependent on the banking, steel, and industrial sectors. According to an IMF estimate in 2022, Luxembourgers enjoy the highest per capita gross domestic product in the world. In 2020, trade turnover between Luxembourg and Vietnam is about 151 million USD, of which exports from Vietnam to Luxembourg account for a larger proportion than imports from Luxembourg to Vietnam. However, the trade turnover between the two countries is still quite low and there is potential for the development of trade and investment cooperation in the future. With the rapid and sustainable economic development between Luxembourg and Vietnam, Vestal shipping is confident to be a top transporter to bring to Vietnam’s companies the best service in exporting and importing commodity between Vietnam and Luxembourg .
