Currently, Vietnam's economic scale ranks 35th and is among the top 20 countries in terms of trade scale in the world .

The report indicates that, as of 2021, Vietnam is estimated to have a per capita GDP adjusted for purchasing power parity of US$11,608.

The report said Vietnam’s economic growth story is nothing short of a “miracle,” with the Doi Moi reforms in the mid-1980s, coupled with favorable global trends, helping the country achieve rapid economic growth and transform it from a poor country into one with a lower middle class.

The report notes that to achieve its goal of becoming a high-income country by 2045, Vietnam must grow at an average annual rate of about 5% per capita.

However, Vietnam faces major challenges on its path to high-income status. With global trade slowing and an aging population, Vietnam needs to significantly improve policy implementation, especially in areas that will be severely affected by automation and climate change.
