Kapitel
Viet Nam is a remarkable development success story. Economic reforms since the launch of Đổi Mới in 1986, coupled with favorable global trends, helped transform Viet Nam from one of the world’s poorest countries to a dynamic middle-income economy in a single generation. The transformation over the past four decades has brought tangible improvements in people’s lives, lifting millions out of poverty, expanding access to health care and education, and connecting nearly all households to essential infrastructure.

Makroökonomische Indikatoren
Growth is forecast to moderate to 5.8 percent in 2025 (due to trade uncertainty and a global slowdown) before rebounding to 6.1 percent in 2026. With a trade-to-GDP ratio of nearly 170 percent, Viet Nam is one of the world’s most open, trade-oriented economies, highly sensitive to global shifts.
Viet Nam’s goal of achieving high-income status by 2045 requires more than tripling current per capita income, demanding average annual growth of 6 percent for the next two decades. To sustain this, the nation must accelerate productivity, strengthen linkages between domestic and foreign firms, expand access to finance and technology for SMEs, and invest strategically in human capital to equip its workforce for a rapidly evolving economy.
