Summary:Successful containment of COVID-19 and strong policy support have helped contain the health and economic fallout, and a strong recovery is underway. Growth in 2020 reached 2.9 percent, among the highest in the world. However, labor market conditions remain weak.

Vietnam's economy remains heavily reliant on external trade and is vulnerable to trade tensions.
