- 11. Is Vietnam following the Chinese model? • China’s ”authoritarian capitalist model of development” – a hybrid form of capitalism • Builds on earlier, state-centered Asian models of development such as in South Korea and Taiwan 1. Emphasis on gradual reforms rather than shock therapy 2. 5 year plans to set priorities / send signals – establish a blueprint for development and changes in growth drivers 3. Control of the exchange rate / capital controls 4. Government ownership/control of strategic industries 5. Heavy investment in primary education 6. Focus on cutting extreme poverty / rural/urban divide 7. Favourable environment for inward foreign investment 8. Special Economic Zones / export driven growth
- 12. Is Vietnam different from China? • A socialist-oriented “market economy” • Country has maintained more of their pre—communist traditions / cultures • Higher ratio of domestic consumption / GDP • More willing to operate a floating currency • Significantly higher export/GDP ratio • Strong connections with the United States (biggest export partner + military ties) • Suggestions of deeper entrepreneurial culture • Slower than China to privatize state-owned businesses

Notes de l'éditeur
- Vietnam is an economy in transition, transforming from a state-dominated, centrally planned system into one increasingly driven by market forces and owned by the private sector
- Vietnam was the only lower-middle-income member in TPP Vietnam is a country of 90 million people, the 14th most populous on the planet. Vietnam’s location on the easternmost edge of the Indochinese peninsula makes it a vital link between East, Southeast, and South Asia. Vietnam has been ranked among the five countries likely to be most affected by climate change / changing weather patterns and natural disasters – over 1% of GDP is lost every year to extreme weather events such as floods and droughts
- Doi-Moi (pronounced Dough-Moy)
- A booming economy has produced all the typical imbalances of rapid development – wide-scale corruption, income inequality and growing disparities between urban and rural areas, as well as the kinh majority and numerous ethnic minorities
- Can Vietnam continue to achieve gains in real per capita incomes similar to the Chinese path? Vietnam’s growth pattern shows striking similarities with China’s development a decade ago. Vietnam has become China’s manufacturing outsourcing hub of choice One Belt One Road initiative will increase flow of Chinese goods into Vietnam but also help Vietnam with burgeoning electronics sector
- Viet Nam’s HDI value for 2015 is 0.683— which put the country in the medium human development category—positioning it at 115 out of 188 countries and territories. Its per capita GDP growth since 1990 has been among the fastest in the world, surpassed only by China.
- Between 1990-2015, Vietnam’s life expectancy at birth increased by 5.4 years, mean years of schooling increased by 4.1 years and expected years of schooling increased by 4.8 years
- Vietnam’s young, large and educated population – the literacy rate is 94% – also helps explain the export boom. Manufacturers can establish and run a factory relatively easily, says Tom Nelson of clothing group VF, owner of the Timberland brand
- FDI is on track for another record year in 2016 – attracted by low costs, improving infrastructure and skills and a deregulated business environment increasingly open to 100% foreign ownership - large FDI inflows into Vietnam are linked, in part, to a shift in low-wage production from China South Korea was the main source of FDI in 2016. investing over $7 billion in Vietnam Two economies within one country? Domestic businesses not contributing much deeper through the supply chain
- In the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) study, even though Vietnam had the lowest GDP per capita, the performance of its students exceeded many OECD countries. Vietnam’s mean score in mathematics, for example, was above that of Austria and just below that of Germany. Vietnam’s measured scores were boosted because about one-fourth of Vietnamese students are no longer in school by age 15 and lower-performing students are more likely to have dropped out.
- Reflected in lower maternal mortality than for lower middle income countries +
- Urbanization generally helps frontier economies become more productive, as cities encourage economies of scale in production and distribution, and firms tend to benefit from knowledge transfers and a larger, more diverse labor pool when they are surrounded by lots of other companies. Urbanisation: Vietnam already has some very large cities (someone quoted 10m in Hanoi - with 8m motorbikes!).
- Trade accounts for roughly 180% of national output, more than any other country at its level of per-person GDP
- Vietnam’s exports amounted to $150 billion in 2014 (equivalent to 80 percent of GDP), three- quarters of which were manufactured goods. Most of these exports are powered by FDI, the stock of which now stands at more than $250 billion, sourced from more than 100 countries.
- Vietnam is one of the main beneficiaries of the stage of development currently underway in the region, whereby export-oriented manufacturers, especially large North Asian corporate groups, need to find a new, less costly base for their production as factor production costs increase in China.
- MITIV - Malaysia, India, Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam - all these countries have a competitive advantage over China in the manufacture of labour intensive commodity type products like apparel, toys, textiles and basic consumer electronics
- Graduation from middle income to high income requires a diverse and sophisticated product mix. Vietnam needs to diversify its trade partners to avoid strong dependency on China High-tech manufactured goods (especially mobile phones and electronics) now represent 30% of total exports, compared with less than 10% in 2010. World’s largest exporter of cashews and black pepper, 2nd largest exporter of coffee and cassava and 3rd largest exporter of rice and fisheries.
- Their primary source of tourists is China, where it used to have more significant Russian component Vietnam’s mountains and coastal landscapes make it an attractive tourism destination, a potential that is far from fully tapped.
- For Vietnam to succeed in its growth and economic modernization ambitions, its cities need to do more to nurture private enterprise and innovation, support the growth of industrial clusters integrated with global value chains, and attract and agglomerate talent
- Vietnam operates a managed floating exchange rate – the external value of the Dong is adjusted daily to a basket of foreign currencies and fluctuating by a maximum of 3% around a trading band with the USD. Many places also accept USD, but the merchant will apply their own XR which tends not to be favourable!
- A large part of Vietnam’s protective mangrove forests has been destroyed, while overfishing has seriously depleted the nearshore fisheries, posing threats to livelihoods. Removing natural forests in some upland areas has contributed to more frequent and severe flooding of lower altitude farms and human settlements. Finally, Vietnam is one of the world’s most vulnerable countries to climate change, with adaptation challenges accordingly severe, especially in the Mekong Delta Agriculture already uses 82% of available freshwater in Viet Nam
- There are few joint ventures (around 80 percent of FDI in Vietnam is in 100-percent foreign invested companies), and the vertical link between FDI and local companies is weak (only about a quarter of inputs in FDI are purchased in Vietnam, of which a significant proportion is from other foreign-invested companies China is significantly bigger – gives the country more bargaining power with MNCs
- Vietnam is an economy in transition, transforming from a state-dominated, centrally planned system into one increasingly driven by market forces and owned by the private sector
