16 A Development Finance and Aid Assessment for Vietnam In the period between the launch of its economic reforms in the 1980s and the onset of the global financial crisis in 2007, Vietnam was one of the most dynamic economies in the developing world. It sustained average growth rates above 7% over a 20-year period, quadrupling the size of the economy. Poverty rates fell by an average of 2.9 percentage points per year, from 58% to a low of 14.2% in By the mid-2000s, Vietnam was experiencing record inflows of external resources, in the form of both FDI and ODA, funding some of the highest rates of investment in the world. This enabled Vietnam to extend basic infrastructure and services to the majority of its population. However Source : More effective development finance for a middle-income Vietnam, A Development Finance and Aid Assessment for Vietnam, Consultation draft, Marcus Cox, Hanh Tran Thi, April 2014

17 ... From 2007, Vietnam suffered a slowdown in growth rates as a result of the global financial crisis. Unlike some other Asian countries, however, Vietnam s economic growth has not returned to the levels seen before There are widespread concerns that Vietnam may be reaching the limits of its existing growth model. The challenges of moving to a new growth model include: completing the economic transition, raising the quality of FDI, managing inequality, macroeconomic constraints.

18 Mapping Vietnam s development finance flows Sources of development finance that can be directly programmed by GoV: Public revenues trebled since 2006, to over 800 trillion dong or US$39 billion, but have declined by 9% in real terms since Government borrowing has grown by an average of 30% per year since Vietnam s indebtedness remains modest by international standards (proposed total debt limit of 65% of GDP). ODA rose sharply in 2009, as the major development banks increased their lending in response to the global financial crisis. These levels have been maintained, with annual disbursements close to $4 billion. ODA will decline gradually in the coming years and fall away more rapidly towards the end of the decade. With these flows, GoV has been able to increase its level of public expenditure by 2.5 times between 2006 and Source : More effective development finance for a middle-income Vietnam, A Development Finance and Aid Assessment for Vietnam, Consultation draft, Marcus Cox, Hanh Tran Thi, April 2014

19 Mapping Vietnam s development finance flows Outside of the public sector, the most important development finance flows are: Lending by Vietnam s banking sector increased fivefold between 2006 and 2012, while total credit grew from 39% of GDP in 2000 to 115% in Foreign direct investment has fluctuated significantly over the past decade, spiking in 2008 during Vietnam s real-estate boom and then flattening out in real terms. International NGOs are important development actors in Vietnam, providing around $300 million in assistance each year. Remittances from Vietnamese citizens abroad are over $8 billion per year, which is of approximately the same magnitude as FDI and twice the size of ODA.

21 Mapping Vietnam s development finance flows Vietnam is also entering a new phase in its development cooperation. Over the past decade, it has been one of the top recipients of official development assistance (ODA) in the world, at over $3 billion in annual disbursements, with donors responding enthusiastically to Vietnam s impressive development record and its strong commitment to aid effectiveness. Yet other funding sources, including domestic revenues, public borrowing and foreign direct investment (FDI), have grown at an even faster rate, making ODA an increasingly minor part of the overall development finance picture. This raises the question of what role ODA will play in supporting Vietnam s transition to a new growth model.

These high levels of lending have since been maintained, with total disbursements in 2012 close to $4 billion.

23 Mapping Vietnam s development finance flows Net ODA disbursements to Viet Nam Source: OECD Aid Statistics The OECD also keeps aid statistics, collected directly from donors. ODA figures published by the OECD show even higher levels of disbursement in recent years, reaching $4.7 billion in The share of multilateral aid in the total has ranged between 30 and 40 percent.

24 Mapping Vietnam s development finance flows Despite achieving middle-income status in 2008, Vietnam s overall external assistance is not expected to decline until towards the end of the decade. Vietnam s ODA is dominated by three large development partners Japan (JICA), the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank which between them provide 80-90% of annual disbursements. These development partners have not signalled any intention to reduce their financing in the short term. Though commitments will decrease, the overhand of past undisbursed assistance will keep ODA high for some time.

26 Mapping Vietnam s development finance flows Legal framework for ODA management and utilisation In 2013, a new Decree 38 on ODA Management and Utilisation was issued, to align the legal frameworks for ODA and debt management and to encourage stronger project management. Some of the provisions in the new Decree 38 are: the scope is extended to less concessional financial support; it allows the private sector access to ODA on the basis of mutual interest and risk sharing with GoV; a number of new priorities for ODA allocation are identified, including high-technology industries and the knowledge economy, trade and investment promotion and support for the implementation of National Target Programmes; Prime Ministerial approval is required for ODA loans, umbrella projects, projects with institutional and policy components and technical assistance over $1 million in value. Other projects may be approved by the executing agencies; it includes measures to facilitate regional and international projects; and it includes additional guidelines on the preparation of project documents. Most importantly, Decree 38 initiates a shift in approach towards project supervision. Its predecessor (Decree 131 of 2006) was focused on checking the compliance of aid projects and their documentation with formal legal requirements and monitoring the rate of implementation through indicators on disbursement and time elapsed. Decree 38 adds the requirement to collect and analyse data on project outcomes. This important shift indicates a welcome increase in the priority given by GoV to monitoring and evaluation.
