The
world is unstable, the global economy in 2022 is lower than expected, but
Vietnam's prospects in 2022 are quite positive. In 2021, the resurgence and
prolongation of the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on
socio-economic aspects of Vietnam. Unresolved challenges in 2021 persist into
2022 such as an increase in energy prices, labor shortages, supply chain
congestion along with macro risks such as inflation, interest rate increases
and monetary tightening, stopping or withdrawing economic stimulus policies
suddenly and without control, hindering the economic recovery process. Besides,
the current stagnant inflation pressure is an alert for the global economy,
especially developing and emerging countries. The Russia-Ukraine war also
creates huge pressure on the global economy and worsens the energy crisis,
hindering and derailing the economic recovery in 2022.
However,
the economy still has optimistic signals. In 2022, the risk of the COVID-19 pandemic
is forecast to gradually decrease, accordingly foreign investors continue to
actively invest in Vietnam; Domestic enterprises are established and
enterprises returning to operation increases. Along with overcoming challenges,
the Government's policies to support production and business have promoted the
economy to grow and develop in the best way. Vietnam is promoting economic
restructuring associated with innovating the growth model based on innovation,
and the need to develop the service industry is increasingly important. The sustainable
development of the service industry, on the one hand, creates a direct driving
force for economic growth, and on the other hand, creates a spillover impact on
other sectors of the economy through providing high quality inputs and ensuring
output for industrial and agricultural sectors. The year 2022 will be an
important year in implementing the Socio-Economic Recovery and Development
Program; At the same time, it creates a premise for a "breakthrough"
to successfully implement the goals of the 5-year socio-economic development
plan 2021-2025.
With
the above contexts of the world and Vietnamese economies, the Vietnam Economic
Annual Report 2022 selected the theme "Enhancing the digital platform for
the service industry". The book affirms that the strong international
integration trend requires the domestic market to promote close links with
foreign markets through trade and services. Although the world is facing many
challenges, recovery efforts along with the 4.0 Industrial Revolution are also
taking place increasingly strongly. Globalization and the challenges of
sustainable development trends promote comprehensive restructuring of the
service industry to enhance Vietnam's competitive position in regional and
international markets, as well as develop the service industry associated with
implementing social and environmental goals. The traditional service industry
develops mainly thanks to material advantages (for example, encouraging
transportation, logistics, and tourism services based on convenient traffic
locations, seaports, scenic spots, etc.). The modern service industry aims to
strengthen the role of industries with high knowledge and technology content
(such as finance, credit, education and training, health...); with high added
value (such as information technology, model design, R&D and some business service
sub-sectors). In other words, the sustainable development of the modern service
industry depends largely on creation, knowledge sharing, integration and access
to technology.
On
that basis, the Vietnam Economic Annual Report 2022 focus on analyzing the
development of the service industry in Vietnam to see the objective necessity
of digital transformation of the economy and the services, thereby analyzing
the digital transformation situation of two major service industries, finance,
banking and logistics in Vietnam.
The
Vietnam Annual Economic Report is a publication of the Institute of Economic
and Policy Research (VEPR), affiliated with UEB. It has been continuously
published and announced for many years. After each report, the group of authors
diligently revise the report to make it a meaningful, continuous and updated
reference, focusing on independent analysis. Objectively discuss achievements,
difficulties, opportunities and challenges in the development process,
contribute to providing a scientific basis for macroeconomic policy making, and
selectively discuss a number large and specialized economic issues of Vietnam.
The
book publishes research results, providing readers who are researchers,
lecturers, graduate students, undergraduate students and post graduate students
with worthy, reliable, in-depth discussions and information about the basic
issues of the Vietnamese economy not only in 2022, but also the economic
development process over the years. The book also provides specific policy proposals
associated with evidence-based and comprehensive analysis, so the book is also
a useful reference for managers, policymakers, and journalists as well as for anyone
interested in current economic issues in Vietnam.
