Vietnam's New Era

Making the Private Sector a Key Engine for Growth

Making the Private Sector a Key Engine for Growth

Over the past 40 years, the private sector has been recognized as a key engine for economic growth. Yet it continues to face limitations and challenges that hinder its ability to reach its full potential and contribute proportionally to the national economy in both scale and impact. In response, the government has issued a resolution on private sector development, anchored by the principle of the “six clarities”: clear responsibilities, clear tasks, clear accountability, clear authority, clear timelines, and clear outcomes.

    Set to expand growth potential, restructure development space, and forge a truly "New Da Nang," the proposed merger of Da Nang and Quang Nam marks a pivotal moment for two localities with a long-standing intertwined history. This ambitious plan aims to transform the city into a key growth pole for Vietnam and a highly competitive urban center within the nation and the Asia-Pacific region.
