Economic in Vietnam
7.0 ECONOMIC

Economy of Vietnam is developing planned-market economy. In a centrally planned economy, the central economic planning by the government controls all major sectors of the economy and formulates all decisions about the use of resources and the distribution of output. Planners decide what should be produced and direct lower-level enterprises to produce those goods in accordance with national and social objectives.
In 2010, it was estimated that Gross Domestic Profit (GDP) is $ 276.6 billion. For GDP Per Kapita, $3100 is estimated. Major main economy of Vietnam is industry sector which is 41.1%. Some product that they make is like food processing, garment, shoes, machine-building; mining, coal, steel, cement, chemical fertilizer, glass, tires, oil, paper. Second sector is agriculture sector which is 20.6%. Paddy, rice, coffee, rubber and cotton are some example for this sector. Third sector is services sector which is estimated as 38.3% in 2010.
The inflation problem looks simple in any economist’s eye. The money supply is bigger than the amount of commodities and services created. The latest measures announced by the Ministry of Finance by cutting import tariff, though applauded by the vast public, still put many experts at odds whether this is the right way. Local media also have voiced concerns galloping prices.
Vietnam has joined the WTO in January 2007. This will be a major boost for Vietnam’s led economy. In 2007, Vietnam’s major export partner is US about 21.2% and the smallest partner is Germany which is 4.5%. For import partners, China is the largest percentage of total which is 17.6% and the smallest percentage is from Malaysia which is 4.2%. In Vietnam, their currency is Vietnamese Dong (VND). The official rate of exchange is approximately VND15,500 to US$1. With the relatively low value of Dong, peoples are recommended to carry US dollar in small notes because it will help to change easily.

    The aftermath of the Vietnam War had taken a severe toll on Vietnamese farmland, industry, and infrastructure due to the result of sustained American bombing missions. In the north, 29 of the 30 provincial capitals had sustained heavy bombing damage. One third of them almost destroyed. In the south, the economy had been propped up with United States aid and investment, but had little developments. In terms of economic aspects, about a million Vietnamese were relocated to previously uncultivated land called the “new economic zones.” The population of the South had roughly 20000 bomb craters, 10 million refugees, 362000 war invalids, 1000000 widows, 880000 orphans, 250000 drug addicts, 300000 prostitutes and 3 million unemployed. The new economic…

    The U.S has not made significant progress on our ideal of opportunity even though it has claimed to follow------. An example of the lack of opportunity in the U.S. can be seen during the time period of the Vietnam War which was from November 1, 1955, to April 30, 1975. The Vietnam war was a protracted conflict between the communist government of North Vietnam and the anti-communist government of South Vietnam, the communist government created a militia known as the Viet Cong against the government of South Vietnam and the United States who later joined to become an ally. This event that took place caused many U.S. citizens rights to being violated in the sense that many were drafted without choice and if not willing to go they were sent into…

The economy has only has public sector, and government decides how will scarce resources were to be used and government also will decide what is to be produced and how much should be charged for goods and services accordance with national and social objectives.

    I think this question has a risk/reward element like with any investment opportunity but the variable is also the type of business one would like to invest into. The strengths that make Vietnam great are that it is the twelfth most populous nation with rapid economic growth and substantial FDI (foreign direct investment) as well as ongoing liberalizing economic reforms in the previous 10 years (joining and working with trade groups). Vietnam is growing and emerging and with a plentiful, well-educated, and low cost workforce. However, there are plenty of things that would worry me like the corruption, bureaucracy, and lack of infrastructure. In addition, the Communist party has intentions of keeping firm control and retaining powers such as the right to buy into foreign companies or to decide the level of profits on which to collect taxes. In terms of infrastructure, the airport hasn’t been rehabilitated post war and the roads are terrible without development. In terms of labor and costs, managerial talent was scarce and foreign investors faced high rents, telecommunication costa and cumbersome service contracts. Based on this analysis, Vietnam is an investment opportunity but I would be wary with the risk involved as options for market entrance in terms of stakes and contracts and government approval and regulations may be cumbersome.…

    Centrally planned economy is an economic system in which the government makes almost all the decisions of a country’s economic activities (“Definition of 'Centrally Planned Economy '”, 2014). For instance, government takes control on what goods and services is produced and how the resources are disseminated. The purpose of centrally planned economy is to enhance the productivity and management by allowing the planners to take advantage of better information accomplished through a combination of economic resources while making decisions on the topic of investment and also the distributions of economic inputs (“Command economy”, 2014). On the other hand, a market economy is an economic system in which the consumers and businesses who take control on making the economic decisions of a country (“Definition of 'Market Economy '”, 2014). For instance, consumers and businesses decide the price of goods and services and how much to supply. However, there is little government involvement. In the late 1980s, the decline of the centrally planned economies has downgraded the living standards of the people (“Economic reforms (transition to a market-based economy)”, 2014). Hence, some of the centrally planned countries such as Poland, Hungary, and Yugoslavia intended to move towards a market economy because this is the only way to conquer the gap between these socialist economies and the western-like market economies (“Economic reforms (transition to a market-based economy)” , 2014). The transformation from a centrally planned economy to a market based economy has never been easy (“Command economy”, 2014). There is only one process of transition is considered as successful which is the People 's Republic of China (“Command economy”, 2014). On the other…

    During the Great Depression in 1930s, the unemployment rate increased significantly that lead to many problems and changes in the world’s economy.
