Abstract

An unwieldy and loss-making state-owned enterprise sector has often been cited as playing a major role in impairing the performance of transition economies. Vietnam appears to be different. Indeed, with economic activity generally buoyant, the performance of the SOE sector has surpassed the non-state sector in several respects, and its share in the overall recorded economy has increased markedly. To a significant extent, SOEs have been transformed into commercially operated companies with increasing foreign participation.
