Analysis Reports

This report is issued by United States Department of Agriculture, in which start from Vietnam economic overview to specific agriculture consumption and trade.

        Viet  Nam’s  deeper  integration  into  the  global  economy,  especially  via  such  a comprehensive  free  trade  agreement  as  the  Trans-Pacific  Partnership  (TPP)  or the establishment of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC), brings various opportunities and challenges. Accompanying these are the gains and losses for the participants of the integration process. At the same time, the welfare of those who are not direct participants is also affected due  to  this  process  via  changes  in  various  aspects  such as economic  growth,  trade,  prices, labour...  Previous  studies  on  the  impacts  of  TPP  on  signatory  countries  gave  a  promising economic prospect for Viet Nam, which is going to be the largest beneficiary compared to the other 11 TPP countries. Similar studies on the impacts of AEC shows much smaller changes on Viet Nam’s economy.
