	The Economy of Vietnam
		The actual potential for economic growth based on Vietnam's wealth of natural resources, however, is being rendered increasingly problematic by population growth, environmental degradation, and rising domestic demand, and the country remains one of the poorest in the world.
		Vietnam began to move away from a state-controlled, centrally planned, subsidized economy toward one that utilized market forces and incentives and tolerated private enterprise--albeit under continuing government control.
		Vietnam's efforts to increase trade with capitalist countries as part of its larger program of economic reforms took on added urgency with the breakup of the Soviet Union and the demise of the communist governments in eastern Europe in the late 1980s and early 1990s, because trade with these areas was drastically reduced.

	Vietnam ECONOMY
		Wet-rice agriculture is the most important segment of the Vietnamese economy, and approximately 63% of the population was engaged in agriculture in 2002, down from 66% in 1997, producing 25% of the GDP.
		Vietnam's economy had already been weakened by the military effort in Kampuchea (known as Cambodia until 1976 and again after 1989) and by the suspension of food aid from the EC, the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand because of objections to Vietnam's refugee policies.
		Several factors contributed to Vietnam's growing unemployment: natural increases in the population; monetary and other adjustments for hyperinflation, which intensified the unemployment problem by limiting growth in some sectors of the economy; the return of demobilized troops from Cambodia; repatriation of refugees; workers laid off from state enterprises; and returning guest workers.
