Synopsis:
A World Bank report in the 1990s named Vietnam the second largest recipient of foreign direct investment (FDI). Drawing on unpublished data, this work critically examines the overall impact of FDI on Vietnam's economy, as well as the performance of individual projects. A major finding is that government policy and intervention has been important in channelling foreign investment toward national and regional development goals. This book will be of great interest to all those researching or involved in policymaking in transitional economies in particular.
