In 2024, Vietnam’s gross domestic product (GDP) amounted to around 459.47 billion U.S. dollars, and is expected to increase to 490.97 billion U.S. dollars by 2025. Gross domestic product denotes the aggregate value of all services and goods produced within a country in any given year, and it is an important indicator of a country’s economic power. Vietnam’s economy Vietnam’s economy has a strong agrarian base, with key agricultural exports of wet rice, coffee, and black pepper. However, in the past decade (2008 to 2018), agriculture's contribution to Vietnam's GDP has been decreasing while the country’s industry sector experienced rapid growth at the same time. As of 2018, Vietnam’s top exports include information technology hardware, such as broadcasting equipment and mobile devices. Vietnam’s regional comparison Vietnam is part of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), which encompasses regional nations with the goal of fostering trade and economic growth. The region has been reporting increasing GDP, amounting to 2.9 trillion U.S. dollars in 2018. Vietnam is one of the ASEAN countries experiencing export trade growth, and has had consistent yearly growth in GDP, at a rate of around six percent.

In the last decades, economic globalisation and the progress of ICT have promoted the international division of labour and optimisation of the global value chain. Moreover, improvements in incentives such as lower tariffs and more efficient border crossings have boosted international trade. Under this background, regional and sub-regional economic cooperation organizations, such as free trade area (FTA), have been developing rapidly and attracting many academic attentions. As the fastest growing FTA in the world, CAFTA is now the largest FTA in developing countries. This study focuses on the value-added network of various industries in the trade process inside CAFTA, and tries to explore the impact of trade facilitation on the DVA trade network of CAFTA. The results show that in the trade network of CAFTA, the proportion of added value of domestic trade in total exports keeps increasing, and the returned added value (RDV) increases significantly. Singapore, Vietnam, and Thailand hold relatively high positions in the production network, while China has a relatively low position. On the other hand, China and Thailand become the main beneficiaries after the establishment of CAFTA, while Singapore and Malaysia play a lesser role in trading networks. The results also show that trade facilitation has a significant positive effect on the DVA-INTrex and RDV trade networks, indicating that trade facilitation can significantly increase the domestic indirect value added and returned value added in the trade process. Moreover, the business environment (bus) is the most important factor, with efficiency and transparency of border administration (cus), availability, and use of ICTs (ict) contributing to the improvement.

Like most countries in the world, Vietnam is increasingly seeing its development affected by climate change. With a coastline of 3,260 kilometers that includes major cities and production sites, Vietnam is highly exposed to sea-level rise. Climate change impacts on the Vietnamese economy and national welfare are already significant, about 3.2 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) in 2020, and they are expected to escalate rapidly even if greater efforts are made to mitigate future climate change around the world. Vietnam has historically had very low greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, but over the past two decades, it has seen some of the fastest emissions growth rates in the world. From 2000 to 2015, as GDP per capita increased from 390 dollars to 2,000 dollars, per capita emissions more than quadrupled. Vietnam’s GHG emissions are associated with toxic air pollution in many of its cities today, with implications for health and labor productivity. At the UN Climate Change Conference in Glasgow in November 2021 (COP26), the Prime Minister made several commitments, including an ambitious target of reducing emissions to net zero by 2050. Vietnam’s increased attention to climate change and the environment reflects the growing economic costs of resource depletion and climate impacts, which have already started to harm trade and investment, two key drivers of the nation’s robust growth and job creation in recent decades. The Vietnam Country and Climate Development Report (CCDR) investigates these questions. One of the first in a series of country-level diagnostics produced by the World Bank Group (WBG) under its 2021–2025 Climate Change Action Plan, the CCDR examines the adaptation and mitigation challenges faced by Vietnam. It pays special attention to policy trade-offs and provides recommendations to help policy makers prioritize among a range of options, recognizing uncertainties about future climate change impacts and the availability of technology and financing. The CCDR relies on data and quantitative tools to inform the analysis and prioritization process.

Since implementation of economic reforms in the Lao PDR, beginning about 1990, rice output has grown less rapidly than population but cash crop and livestock production has outgrown population. The sources of these events were: (i) The reforms reduced the barriers to domestic trade in agricultural commodities within Lao PDR. Those regions with a comparative advantage in cash crop and livestock production could now more readily sell their output of cash crops and livestock in exchange for rice. It was no longer necessary for a farming household to grow rice in order to be sure of having sufficient rice to consume. (ii) The restoration of good border relations between Lao PDR and Thailand meant that cross-border trade between the two countries was no longer obstructed by political tensions. In addition, the reform process in Lao PDR reduced the administrative barriers to international trade with Thailand, China and Vietnam. (iii) The rapid growth of the Thai, Chinese and Vietnamese economics, with which Lao PDR shares long and permeable borders, produced greatly increased demand for cash crops and livestock, some of which could be produced efficiently in Lao PDR.

In 2024, the real gross domestic product (GDP) in Vietnam grew by approximately **** percent, marking the highest growth rate in Southeast Asia. In comparison, Myanmar's real GDP growth rate dropped by **** percent. Southeast Asia, a tapestry of economic and cultural complexity Historically a critical component of global trade, Southeast Asia is a diverse region with heterogeneous economies. The region comprises ** countries in total. While Singapore is a highly developed country economy and Brunei has a relatively high GDP per capita, the rest of the Southeast Asian countries are characterized by lower GDPs per capita and have yet to overcome the middle-income trap. Malaysia is one of these countries, having reached the middle-income level for many decades but yet to grow incomes proportionally to its economic development. Nevertheless, Southeast Asia’s young population will further drive economic growth across the region’s markets. ASEAN’s economic significance Aiming to promote economic growth, social progress, cultural development, and regional stability, all Southeast Asian countries except for Timor-Leste are part of the political and economic union Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). Even though many concerns surround the union, ASEAN has avoided trade conflicts and is one of the largest and most dynamic trade zones globally. Factors such as the growing young population, high GDP growth, a largely positive trade balance, and exemplary regional integration hold great potential for future economic development in Southeast Asia.
