Abstract
Since Doi Moi, the ‘renovation’ economic reform that started in 1986, Vietnam has successfully escaped from the status of being a poverty- stricken country, and now it is considered as one of the fastest growing emerging economies. Vietnam’s GDP almost doubled in the 1990s, and Vietnam’s growth rate has increased even more since the early 2000s. The average annual GDP growth rate between 2000 and 2010 was more than 7.3%, with growth in the industrial sector reaching as high as 10% annually.
