Vietnam has experienced successful economic growth in recent years, transforming from one of the poorest countries in the world into a lower middle-income country by 2010. Vietnam’s poverty rate fell from 58 percent in 1993 to 14.5 percent in 2008 (World Bank 2012), and the country has reached five of the 10 original Millennium Development Goals. Vietnam aims to continue its growth and reach middle-income status through the Socio-Economic Development Strategy (SEDS) 2011-2020.
