Does Vietnam's economic future still look bright?
Vietnam has been transformed over four decades to one of the world's fastest growing economies - but there challenges ahead.
Vietnam has enjoyed more than 6% annual growth every year for the last thirty years or more, a staggering growth path, transforming one of Asia鈥檚 poorest economies into a major global trading hub. It's now one of the world鈥檚 top twenty economies.
But are there challenges ahead. A high-profile anti-corruption drive, extreme weather events, and the death of its long-term leader have raised questions about the country鈥檚 path to prosperity.
