Viet Nam Productivity Report Identifying Growth Challenges And Exploring A Way Forward Nguyen Duc Thanh by Nguyen Duc Thanh, Kenichi Ohno, Pham Thi Huong instant download after payment.

The Vietnamese economy is under constant pressure from
deepening global and regional integration and the future risk of a middle
income trap. Despite the reasonably high growth attained in the last
two-and-half decades, Viet Nam’s productivity and innovation remain
low, and Vietnamese enterprises generally have not secured sufficient
competitive advantage to cope with the global market. This Report
studies Viet Nam’s productivity focusing on labor productivity and
total factor productivity (TFP). It analyzes the process of productivity
growth of the entire economy, across sectors and over time, as well as
by making comparisons with neighboring countries.
