Country Presentation: Viet Nam

Inflation Challenges, Policy Solutions and Capital Market Development

6 May 2008 (8:30 a.m. - 9:30 a.m.)

As an emerging economy with one of the highest growth rates in Southeast Asia, Viet Nam is expected to become a Middle Income Country in 2010. However, in 2008, Viet Nam is facing two major challenges: rising inflation and the adverse impact of the global economy on Vietnamese macroeconomic stability and development.

The presentation will focus specifically on:

  • An overview of the Viet Nam economy and the impact of the global economy on regional economies and on Viet Nam
  • Policy responses to control inflation, to mitigate its adverse effect on economic development, and to achieve sustainable development
  • Promoting the development of capital markets and strengthening and maintaining investments
