This poor economic performance is reflective of the ineffective second 5 year socio-economic development plan (SEDP), in 1976-1980, that failed to combat continuing inefficiencies and an ongoing inability to match supply and demand.

However, the SEDPs that have instigated economic have had varying impacts on economic development. In order to attract FDI, SEDPs have relaxed environmental and tax regulations resulting in the exploitation of the environment and the widening income inequality. Vietnam’s Environmental Performance Index (EPI) of 38.17 in 2015 ranks them 136 of 178 while their GINI co-efficient has increased from 0.357 in 1992 to 0.387 in 2012. Growing income equality and
