The research team of Dr. Nguyen Duc Thanh, GRIPS alumni, and GRIPS Development Forum produced the Viet Nam Productivity Report, which was launched in the Hanoi workshop co-hosted by Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI) and JICA on 28th April. The Japanese ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary to Viet Nam, Mr. Takio Yamada, and the chief representative of JICA Viet Nam, Mr. Akira Shimizu, made opening remarks.

Vietnam is industrializing fast, but it has weaknesses in productivity growth, domestic value creation and participation in Global Value Chains. The Report offered standard analysis such as labor productivity decomposition as well as proposals to deepen bilateral productivity cooperation with Japan.
