Vietnam’s development record over the past 25 years is remarkable. Economic and political reforms under Đổi Mới, launched in 1986, have spurred rapid economic growth and development and transformed Vietnam from one of the world’s poorest to a lower middle-income country. Vietnam has enjoyed strong economic growth. Since 1990, Vietnam’s GDP per capita growth has been among the fastest in the world, averaging 6.4 percent a year in the 2000s.. Vietnam’s economy continued to strengthen in 2015, with an estimated GDP growth rate of 6.7 percent. Vietnam’s economic activity moderated in the first half of 2016, with GDP expanding by 5.5 percent, compared to 6.3 percent over the same period in 2015. This slow-down is considered a result of severe drought--affecting agricultural production--and slower industrial growth.
