The economy of Vietnam is a developing planned-market economy. Since the mid-1980s, through the "Đổi Mới" reform period, Vietnam has made a shift from a highly-centralized planned economy to a socialist-oriented market economy which use both directive and indicative planning (see Five-Year Plans of Vietnam). Over that period, the economy has experienced rapid growth. Nowadays, Vietnam is in the period of integrating into the world's economy, as a part of globalization. Almost all Vietnamese enterprises are SMEs with some nationwide trademarks such as VNPT, Vinamilk, FPT, Trung Nguyên, Kinh Do and others. Vietnam has been rising as a leading agricultural exporter and an attractive foreign investment destination in Southeast Asia.
In 2010, the nominal GDP reached $104.6 billion,[7] with nominal GDP per capita of $1218. According to a forecast in December 2005 by Goldman-Sachs, Vietnamese economy will become the 17th largest economy in the world with nominal GDP of $ 436 billion and nominal GDP per capita of 4,357 USD by 2025.[8] According to a forecast by the PricewaterhouseCoopers in 2008, Vietnam may be the fastest growing of emerging economies by 2025, with a potential growth rate of almost 10% per annum in real dollar terms that could push it up to around 70% of the size of the UK economy by 2050.[9]
Vietnam has been listed in the Next Eleven countries.
