Abstract

Restructuring the economy and adopting a new growth model are topical issues that attract great attention currently. The paper tries to provide a panoramic view over Vietnam?s growth model in the past two decades. The growth model Vietnam has been building seemed suitable at first but becomes unsuitable when facing demands from the domestic economy and challenges posed by economic integration in the context of global competition. What are characteristics of the growth model adopted by Vietnam? What consequences has it produced? What are characteristics of an expected model and how can it be realized? These are questions that the paper wants to discuss to a certain extent.
