2017—a year of remarkable successWith 13 socioeconomic development targets accomplished and a GDP growth of 6.7 per cent—the highest in the last ten years—2017 is considered a special year for the Vietnamese economy. Notably, GDP growth hit 6.7 per cent, the highest in the past decade. Inflation was brought under control, while exports surged sharply and the industry recovered at a remarkable pace. Earlier, the Global Innovation Index 2017 (GII 2017) of World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) ranked Vietnam 47th from the 59th last year. Diplomatic affairs and international integration were promoted, especially by the successful hosting of the APEC Vietnam 2017.
