Expert Lang Duc Quyen commented that under colonial rule for a long time, Vietnam was once one of the poorest and most backward countries in the world. But in just a few decades, Vietnam has risen to become one of the fastest growing economies in the world, with its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) increasing 40 times from 1989 to 2023; more than 40 million people escaped poverty within 20 years, Vietnam completed ahead of schedule the poverty reduction target according to the United Nations Agenda, and was assessed by the international community as a bright spot in poverty reduction on a global scale.
The top achievement of the Doi Moi process was to help Vietnam escape the socio-economic crisis, step onto the right path of development, innovation in agriculture helped solve the problem of food shortage, making Vietnam the world's leading agricultural exporter. Entering the 21st century, the economy maintained a rapid growth rate, continuously leading the region and the world, bringing Vietnam into the group of middle-income countries. It is expected that by 2025, Vietnam's GDP will reach 500 billion USD, per capita income will increase to about 4,650 USD; by 2030, Vietnam will become an upper middle-income country, people's lives will improve, and international position and influence will increase.
