Overview

Viet Nam's economy stabilized in 2012 as previous policy tightening suppressed inflation and bolstered external accounts.

ADB's country partnership strategy (CPS), 2012-2015, for Viet Nam is fully aligned with the country's Socio-Economic Development Plan and supports issues arising from its recent transition to a middle-income country. The CPS focuses assistance to Viet Nam through the three pillars of inclusive growth, enhancing economic efficiency, and environmental sustainability. To maximize development impacts, ADB prioritizes six sectors: agriculture and natural resources, education, energy, finance, transport, and water supply and other municipal infrastructure and services.
