World Bank Income Classification:Low Income
The World Bank classifies economies for analytical purposes into four income groups: low, lower-middle, upper-middle, and high income. For this purpose it uses gross national income (GNI) per capita data in U.S. dollars, converted from local currency using the World Bank Atlas method, which is applied to smooth exchange rate fluctuations.
Least Developed Country:Yes
Since 1971, the United Nations has recognized LDCs as a category of States that are deemed highly disadvantaged in their development process, for structural, historical and also geographical reasons. Three criteria are used: per capita income, human assets, and economic vulnerability.
Gender Inequality Index:0.575
GII is a composite metric of gender inequality using three dimensions: reproductive health, empowerment and the labour market. A low GII value indicates low inequality between women and men, and vice-versa.
Gender Development Index:0.723
GDI measures gender inequalities in achievement in three basic dimensions of human development: health, education, and command over economic resources.

The outcome was on track in the reporting year. The new Circular 06/2022/TT-BKHÐT guiding some provisions of the Decree 80/2021 NÐCP regulating details and guidance of the SMEs' Supporting Law was adopted by the Vice-Minister of Planning and Investment in May 2022 https://thuvienphapluat.vn/van-ban/Doanh-nghiep/Thong-tu-06-2022-TT-BKHDT-huong-dan-Nghi-dinh-80-2021-ND-CP-514234.aspx . UN Women’s technical support was made it possible through a strong partnership with the Agency for Enterprises Development of the Ministry of Planning and Investment (AED – MPI) in making joint gender review to assess the implementation of the related Law and Decree which provided evidence-based recommendations, organizing technical consultation and policy advocacy workshops with related public and private stakeholders for gender mainstreaming in the new Circular. As the result, the Circular included gender responsive regulations such: (i) the recognition of “women-owned SMEs” and “enterprises that employ many women workers;” and (ii) the requirement for SMEs supporting agencies and organizations to prioritize budget for supporting women-owned SMEs and enterprises that employ many women workers and social SMEs. This new Circular will bring positive impact and benefits to millions of women-owned enterprises, women entrepreneurs, and enterprises that employ many women workers, contribute to more sustainable, inclusive and gender-responsive economic transformation. UN Women worked to strengthen relevant government partners’ accountability to gender equality and women’s economic empowerment in order to improve innovation capacities and increase productivity and profitability of sustainable resilient livelihood models. At national level UN Women documented good examples and initiatives by the Vietnam Women Union on women’s economic empowerment, later shared at National Forum on Agriculture and Extension Services, with the participation of Agriculture Extension Services leaders from 63 provinces. UN Women has actively strengthened the capacity of relevant stakeholders in mainstreaming gender into financial strategies to 2030 of Viet Nam and advocating for the development of an integrated financial framework toward achieving SDGs in Viet Nam. The achievement of this Outcome in 2022 has contributed to more sustainable, inclusive and gender-responsive economic transformation based on women entrepreneurship development policies, sustainable resilient livelihood, and financing for gender equality which contribute to the achievement of SDG 5, 8 and SDG 10.Disclaimer and notes
