Vietnam economic development and diversification

Overview

Vietnam has transitioned from a low-ranking per-capita GDP economy to a significant participant in global supply chains. This development was driven by the 1986 Doi Moi reforms and subsequent foreign investment laws that moved the nation toward a market-oriented socialist economy.

Building on this industrial and economic foundation, the country is now looking toward the ‘orange economy’—sectors focused on culture, creativity, and intellectual property—as a future growth engine. The government aims for this creative sector to contribute 7 percent to the national GDP by 2030, with plans to develop cultural hubs and new legislation to support the industry.
