Written by a business analyst with considerable experience of Vietnam, this book aims to provide a detailed business guide to Vietnam as an emerging market. Foreign investment in, and trade flows with, Vietnam have boomed since Hanoi initiated economic reform in the late 1980s. With a population of 70 million, cheap but relatively skilled labour, and plentiful natural resources, on the one hand, and problems of inadequate infrastructure, excessive bureaucracy, and political constraints on the other, the country has nonetheless become yet more attractive since the relaxation of US economic sanctions and the resumption of multilateral lending.
