Adventurous investors who want to target countries with the highest growth potential might want to think about opening a position in Vietnam.

If Vietnam was to be reclassified it would be a real game changer and attract huge amounts of foreign investment into the local stock market. There is an outside chance that it could meet all the index provider MSCI's criteria by the end of the year, although it would still need to go through the lengthy selection process and is nowhere near inclusion at the moment.
