Abstract
The transition of the Vietnamese economy started around 1980, when some partial reform measures were introduced to overcome the problems faced by the centrally planned economy. More radical steps were taken around 1989, when prices and trade were liberalized. At present the transition is complete in the sense that Vietnam has a market economy.
