Drawing on the studies by the Asia Competitiveness Institute (ACI) at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy (LKYSPP), National University of Singapore (NUS), this book titled Balanced, Sustainable and Competitiveness Enhancement Study for Vietnam: A Critical Evaluation with Development Potentials, which is a joint research collaboration between the National Research Project on Improving Vietnam's Competitiveness and ACI–LKYSPP–NUS, provides a detailed assessment of the Vietnamese economy. We contend that Vietnam is at a critical juncture in its development whereby a new wave of far-reaching reforms is required to address persistent structural weaknesses and unleash the country's economic potentials. In addition, Vietnam's new growth model must tackle widening regional disparities which puts Vietnam at risk of becoming one country with two economies where the southern region of Vietnam pulls too far ahead of its northern and central counterparts. Based on our analysis, we propose a comprehensive policy roadmap for Vietnam to achieve balanced and sustainable development for enhanced competitiveness. The successful completion of this reform agenda will set Vietnam firmly on a dynamic growth path which will allow the country to catch up with the more advanced ASEAN member states by 2040.

- Vietnam's Economic Landscape: Past, Present and Future
- Assessing Vietnam's Economic Competitiveness: Meeting Challenges and Seizing Opportunities

- Exploration of regional disparities between Northern, Central and Southern Vietnam and highlighting the risk of "One Country-Two Economies" whereby Southern Vietnam pulls too far ahead of its counterparts in terms of economic development
- Preface by the Prime Minister of Vietnam Nguyen Xuan Phuc
