During the last decade, Vietnamese authorities have reaffirmed their commitment to economic liberalisation and international integration. Recently, Vietnam has undergone the structural reforms, needed to modernize the economy and to produce more competitive export-driven industries. WTO membership has provided Vietnam an anchor to the global market and reinforced the domestic reform process. Vietnam achieved around 7% annual GDP growth from 2000 onwards, making it one of the world’s fastest growing economies. Stimulus spending, including a subsidized lending program, helped the economy through the global financial crisis, and foreign investors have pledged $8 billion in foreign direct investment.
