Foreword

This Survey is published under the responsibility of the Secretary-General of the OECD.

The economic situation and policies of Viet Nam were reviewed by the Economic and Development Review Committee of the OECD on 5 September 2022 with participation of representatives of the Vietnamese authorities. The draft report was then revised in light of the discussions. The cut-off date for updates to this report is January 2023.

The Secretariat’s draft report was prepared for the Committee by Kosuke Suzuki, Nguyen Minh Cuong*, Vu Quoc Huy, Patrick Lenain and Isabelle Luong under the supervision of Ben Westmore. Editorial assistance was provided by Karimatou Diallo and Stephanie Henry and communication assistance by Nathalie Bienvenu and Laura Fortin. The Survey also benefitted from contributions at various stages by Alvaro Pereira, Andrew Jeffries*, Isabell Koske, Vincent Koen, Keiju Mitsuhashi*, Jens Arnold, Cristiana Vitale, Paul Yu, Nguyen Thi Thanh Phuong* and Kyongjun Kwak (*: the Asian Development Bank).

The Survey was prepared as a joint project with the Asian Development Bank Viet Nam Resident Mission. Comments and feedback from the government of Viet Nam are gratefully acknowledged. Support from the World Bank and the government of Japan is also gratefully acknowledged.

This is the first OECD Economic Survey of Viet Nam. Information about the Survey and more information about how Surveys are prepared is available at http://www.oecd.org/eco/surveys.
