Is Vietnam's Economy Truly Set to Become Rich? | Economy of Vietnam | Econ

Is Vietnam 🇻🇳 on the path to prosperity? 🌟 A mere 35 years ago, the country was one of the poorest in the world. 💔 When the 20-year Vietnam War ended in 1975, Vietnam's economy was among the world's weakest. Today, however, it is one of Asia's fastest-growing economies, boasting an impressive average annual growth rate of 6.2% since 2000. 💼 The key drivers behind Vietnam's economic growth include its strategic position, low labor costs, and robust foreign investment. 💰 However, there are potential pitfalls, such as overreliance on foreign investment and the performance of state-owned enterprises. 🚧 Additionally, its diplomatic relations with major global players and demographic shifts influence its economic outlook. 🌏 Will Vietnam achieve its goal of becoming a high-income nation by 2045, or are there challenges ahead? 🤔 #vietnam #vietnameconomy #economy

Greetings from U.S- lived there for a cup of years. Vietnam is an uniqe and lovely country and people there are the greatest warriors on earth that always impressed the world. Only the nation that defeated the mongols 3 times in 13 century and humiliated chinese empires 14 times in History when China tried to invade them. They also crushed 3 powers: France, America and China in 20 century. The war in 1979 was a total military disarter for Chinese army as they got a huge casualties by Vietnamese local units and failed to save the genocidal Polpot regime in Cambodia . Only 25 years living in peace but now 2024 as we know Vietnam has become a new Asian economic tiger, one of the fastest growing countries 8,2% in 2022 , a upper middle-income country with PPP 16.000 or GDP per capita - 5000 dollars in 2023. Moreover, now Vietnam is one of the top 20 biggest world's exporters 370 billions dollars in 2023. They are even building a huge EV Factory-Vinfast Cars 4 billions dollars in US and India, Indonesia.

Vietnam has the disadvantage that they started very late compared to other countries (Bangladesh, Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia), that is, it was not until the 2000s that the embargo was lifted by the US. And when poverty is completely lifted, Vietnam will miss the largest labor force (18-30). Vietnam's advantage is that it still has a relatively young population, the elderly still contribute to the labor market in many different ways, and women (40% of the population) in Vietnam are extremely hard-working. Maybe they If they can maintain a growth rate of 5-7% continuously for 20 years. They can absolutely achieve high income levels.

In all nations there is a tug of war between Land, People and Capital - Resource rich countries like Australia and Canada tend to move to the easy low hanging fruit of Resource exploitation at the cost of more diversified industries. In oil rich areas of Canada, trying to find someone to work at a hotel or a coffee shop comes with competing on wages with high priced oil field and supporting industry jobs. This stifles investments into research, innovation, patents, new businesses etc. Long term, Canada has a large trading partner more similar to itself than Australia has, how this plays out over the long haul will be interesting to watch.

As a vietnamese myself, i gain alot of more insight as to how vietnam is heading, economically. Finacially, vietnam actually benefit alot from remittances of oversea, gain a total of over 90 billion dollars, which like a adrenaline shot for vietnam market spending in recent year to be where it is today beside the open market reform and investment. However, as the video layout, and i mostly agree with the problems it mention, the question is, can vietnam be a rich country? My answer is..unlikely, very unlikely. My reason is vietnam is getting more politically unstable and corruption is getting worse. People in vietnam is actually losing faith in the communist party and the north - south dividend is getting worse because of unfair treatment across southern provinces by channeling all taxes to build the north leaving the south to fence for themself. In 2 years, our country has ousted 2 presidents, 1 Nation Assembly Chairman, and so many more of high ranking in the party. The propaganda machine in vietnam is getting ever closer to Russia, Iran and North Korea, all from State Medias, which is saying something, especially on the ukraine and israel gaza war. As a common sense and a logical person would, soon outsider will take notice of this and make judgement for themself. Its not hard to see where this is heading in the furure and we can make prediction. Plus the aging economy and middle income trap will not give my country the time it need to achieve it. If i have to describe Vietnam situation right now, its symptons start to show and problem will probably get worst. We were from worse to better, but i think its ending here until changes come.

The analysis is one-sided, based only on numbers found online. Did you know that most households in Vietnam do not have to pay taxes, or only have to pay a symbolic tax when they receive income from employment or production? It is estimated that 40% of Vietnam's GDP is overlooked because the government does not count small businesses in total GDP. And you take an index of labor productivity (An INDEX BASED ON GDP per capita), and like I said 40% of GDP is ignored? So the video owner thinks that the elites of the United States and Korea are stupid for investing in Vietnam because of cheap labor? You think Vietnam lacks freedom and censorship, but every year tens of millions of international tourists come to Vietnam to travel? Have you arrived in Vietnam yet? definitely not. But I know your great country, America, has eliminated Tik Tok because it can't compete with Tik Tok. LoL.

Economic growth based on foreign investment will not be enough, as the majority of the growth or roughly 90% are contributed by the domestic investment. Demostic primary industries are ultra important. If your country have the resources and produce the raw materials for the second and third industrial manufacturing, the chain reaction multiple instead of just adding value, you keep skills in a diversified industries. India always wanted to overtake China as the next world manufacturing complexes, yes India have plenty of labour supply, but lack raw materials and skills from the primary industries to supply the input for the third industrial manufacturing. India is the world manufacturer of genetic medicine, but relied on the supply of its raw materials from China, just like the high technology iPhone assembly, 99% of the iPhone components are made in China, othe 1% of Indians labour and the Indians printed packaging.

The only reason autocracies and communists get some wealth is because they allow in capitalists who then export to other capitalists. Left to their own devices, communist nations would remain largely agrarian and poor. Communism: Everyone gets to be equally poor, except for the ruling politicians who live like kings. What a horrible system to live in. There is no difference between monarchies, communists, and theocracies. The premise is: A ruling elite group or individual with all the money and power. And then 99.99% of the population live basically as serfs. Very poor, but everyone gets to be equally poor. Monarchies and Theocracies are essentially the same, the ruling elite tell the poor that God favors the elite, and that is why the elite make the rules and have all the money. They also tell the poor that Heaven awaits and all their poverty will be rewarded with a glorious afterlife. Communists do away with lying about the afterlife and just use the military to keep their boots on the necks of the poor. The poor are taught that equality is more important than wealth, and don't pay attention to their communist leaders who own dozens of mansions and have fleets of maids and butlers and live like god-emperors.

[@Betweoxwitegan]

Hey, big dum dum you need to take an economics, political science and history class. Communism, monarchy and theocracies couldn't be anymore dissimilar... Communism is stateless, therefore there is no state, communism is classless and moneyless therefore 0.1% don't hold all the wealth or power. There is and never has been a communist nation, only socialist nations like Cuba. Sure nations might claim to be communist like China but they're capitalist, North Korea claims to be democratic but it obviously isn't. I agree that theocracies and monarchies are bad though, they are inherently anti democratic and dictatorial after all.

[@john_doe_not_found]

@@Betweoxwitegan The excuse, "There has never been a communist state" is what a bunch of upset communists say as every communist nation fails. The very concept of communism is open to massive amounts of corruption and wide spread laziness. It is always going to be doomed to failure. A system has to plan for reality as it exists. If your imaginary system requires some sort of utopia where people have changed into godlike beings of charity and diligence and honesty, your system is going to fail. Because it ignores reality.
