Vietnam in ASEAN - economic reform, openness and transformation: an overview
Article Abstract:
Vietnam's entry into the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in July 1995 has reinforced its policy of openness and pressed it to take up economic reform and structural adjustment. Vietnam's membership of the ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA) is a key step towards formalizing its economic integration within Southeast Asia. By implementing the Common Effective Preferential Tariff, Vietnam can request special privileges from ASEAN/AFTA. Although foreign direct investment in economic growth transformation remains important, domestic mobilization of capital is increasing.

Economic reform and openness in Vietnam: micro-economic response and transformation
Article Abstract:
Vietnam's state-owned enterprises (SOEs) have adapted to macro-economic reform from 1989 to 1993, according to a survey studying the micro-economic responses to the market-oriented reforms. SOEs adjusted to the fundamental constraints of the market with changes in relative prices and signals, hardening of soft budget constraints, and increase in management autonomy. The reforms provided the private enterprises (PEs) a stable environment and expanding market opportunities. While SOEs have improved their profitability, PEs are finding it difficult to maintain profitability.
