In 1986 Vietnam launched a political and economic innovation campaign (Doi Moi) that

introduced reforms intended to facilitate the transition from a centralized economy to a "socialist-
oriented market economy." Doi Moi combined government planning with free-market incentives.
The program abolished agricultural collectives, removed price controls on agricultural goods, and
enabled farmers to sell their goods in the marketplace. It encouraged the establishment of private
businesses and foreign investment, including foreign-owned enterprises.
By the late 1990s, .the success of the business and agricultural reforms ushered in under Doi Moi
was evident. More than 30,000 private businesses had been created, and the economy was growing at
an annual rate of more than 7 percent. From the early 1990s to 2005, poverty declined from about 50
percent to 29 percent of the population. However, progress varied geographically, with most
prosperity concentrated in urban areas, particularly in and around Ho Chi Minh City. In general, rural
areas also made progress, as rural housel olds living in poverty declined from 66 percent of the total
in 1993 to 36 percent in 2002. By contrast, concentrations of poverty remained in certain rural areas,
particularly the northwest, north-central coast, and central highlands.
Government control of the economy and a nonconvertible currency have protected Vietnam from
what could have been a more severe impact resulting from the East Asian financial crisis in 1997.
