The country has achieved significant economic growth due to its economic reforms but also faces serious

challenges such as inflation and continuous currency devaluation. Lucintels research indicates that one of
the major challenges of Vietnam is the persistent trade deficit faced by the country. Vietnam recorded a
trade deficit of $9.84 in 2011. The increasing trade deficit has led to serious challenges in the country such
as increasing current account deficit, increasing fiscal deficit, and increasing public debt. Vietnam is highly
vulnerable to external shocks as the country is highly dependent on FDI for its economic growth.
Despite the shortcomings, the cheap labor and political stability makes Vietnam favorite destinations for
global investors. Vietnams labor costs rank the second lowest in Asia followed by Cambodia. Vietnam is one
of the fastest emerging economies of Southeast Asia which has shown a sustainable growth in the last five
years. The country is at an advantage in terms of its demographics, which support its continued growth in
domestic consumption. Approximately 70% of the total population is under 40 years of age which will be a
driver
of
consumer
spending
in
the
coming
years.
