Before Doi Moi our country experienced a lot of difficulties: the economy was
under-developed and was dominated by traditional agriculture; there was a
shortage of schools and hospitals, and inflation could be seen in every sector of
the economy. To solve these problems, our Government introduced a number of
renovation measures: they eliminated government subsidies; they shifted
economic priority from heavy industry to three major economic programmes,
namely, production of food, production of consumer goods and production of
exports; they reduced states intervention in business; they opened trade relations
with all countries in the world and encouraged foreign and domestic private
investment.
Since Doi Moi, our country has undergone substantial changes: productivity and
agricultural exports have constantly increased, the farmers have enjoyed land use
rights and have had greater choice on how to use their agricultural land, the
workers have worked harder as their time is their money, and the children,
particularly those from ethnic minorities have had more opportunities to enjoy
education and training.
