A current controversy in Vietnam-U.S. trade relations is whether
Vietnam is a market or non-market economy after more than a
decade of important economic reforms. Dr. Pham argues that
Vietnam has implemented successfully several monetary and fiscal
policies as well as price and wage decontrols to set up a working
market economy in its early stages. But it is an unfinished
agenda due to sluggish structural and institutional reforms
in recent years. He will conclude that the political economy
would have to be addressed by Vietnam with bold policies such
as those adopted by China to recognize both the political and
economic roles of the private sector, were Vietnam to achieve
an advanced market economy.
