Some argue that pushing investment to achieve high growth may return Vietnam to an extensive growth model. Vietnam has had phases of rapid growth fueled by increased investment, higher public spending, or widespread real estate and infrastructure development.

In this context of intensified reform and decentralization, how would you assess local implementation capacity? The key lies in how well we seize it - by implementing reform faster, more decisively, and more meaningfully.
