| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Vietnam in 2017 continued rapid economic growth and consolidated its role in APEC. US withdrawal from the TPP harmed growth prospects, but Vietnam and other trading partners pushed ahead with other agreements. Industrial production continued to boom, and real wages rose substantially. The ruling party consolidated its hold on national politics and stepped up repression of activists. |
