the Pacific Ocean. Vietnam has a land border of 4,550 km with China in the north,
Laos and Cambodia in the west; East sea bordering the east.

23rd-largest in the world as measured by purchasing power parity (PPP) in 2020.
Vietnam is a member of Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, Association of
Southeast Asian Nations and the World Trade Organization.
Since the mid-1980s, through the Đổi Mới reform period Vietnam has made a shift
from a highly centralized command economy to a mixed economy that uses both
directive and indicative planning through five-year plans with support from an open
market-based economy. In the 21st century, Vietnam is in a period of being
integrated into the global economy.

due to the increase in rice prices because of consumer demand, domestic
production and import demand. rice exports of other countries increased due
to concerns that the Covid-19 epidemic could be prolonged; price of pork
increased and processed pork products such as sausages, spring rolls...
increased due to a sharp decrease in supply because affected by African
Swine Fever;

half of April-2020.

1.5.1 Export

steels (up by 33.6% - USD 92 million); fabrics (up by 11.8% - USD 50 million)
1.6 Government policy :

As a one-party state, Vietnam’s politics centres upon the Vietnamese Communist

Party that dominates the country through an oligarchy.

•Becoming a Party member

Since its foundation by Ho Chi Minh in 1930, the Party structure has been modelled
upon the USSR, even down to the white shirts and red kerchiefs of members of the
school level ‘Young Pioneers’.

•Marxist-Leninism in theory and practice

The Youth Union is currently working on a large project to replace the hundreds of
rickety bamboo and rope ‘monkey bridges’ that criss-cross the canals in the
Mekong Delta.

•Before independence

During decades of resistance and warfare, the dominant aim of the party was victory
over the French and independence, leaving little time for theoretical political
discussion.

•The post-independence era

Following Ho Chi Minh’s 1954 Independence Declaration and the post-WWII
partitioning of the country, the Party became the government of North Vietnam, and
set about introducing Soviet-style central planning and collectivisation. The result
was an internal debate in the Party that led to the 1986 ‘doi moi’ open market
policy, the antitheses of the Soviet model. The subsequent collapse of the USSR
was ample justification for Viet Nam's abrupt policy shift!.

•Moving ahead with ‘doi moi’

To many observers, it appears that Vietnam has repudiated the socialist vision in all
but name.

 The third time: 2/1959 - 10/1960: This money exchange is considered the
most «spectacular» in the history of Vietnamese currency. Because the first
National Bank money was printed in 1951 to exchange for dong. Finance
was earlier, so most of the people who had money to change were in the
public sector receiving salaries from the state budget, so in February 1959,
the Government decided to allocate money to the public. redistributed
income and exchanged money for the second time at the rate of 01 dong of
the new national bank to 1000 dong of the old national bank.

Central Committee of the Labor Party of Vietnam, the Provisional
Revolutionary Government of the Republic of South Vietnam organized a
money exchange on a nationwide scale to put a new currency named «Bank
Money of Vietnam» into circulation with the ratio of 1 VND of Vietnam
Bank to 500 VND of the Republic of Vietnam's currency and equivalent to 1
USD
 Fifth time: May 2, 1978 - On the occasion of the 3rd anniversary of the
complete liberation of the South, the State of the Socialist Republic of
Vietnam announced the third currency exchange nationwide, unifying the
national currency with the rate of 1 dong of the old State Bank in the North
or 0.8 of the Liberation currency in the South for 1 dong of the new SBV.
 Sixth time: September 14, 1985:, facing the complicated situation of goods
and money circulation and the serious shortage of cash in payment, the State
again announced the exchange of money at the rate of 10 currencies of the
 State Bank. The State has added to circulation a large amount of money
equivalent to 1.38 times the amount of new money issued in the previous
money exchange to serve the wage and price reform.

2.4 Trade Volume :

What Is Volume of Trade?
Volume of trade is the total quantity of shares or contracts traded for a specified
security. It can be measured on any type of security traded during a trading day.
Volume of trade or trade volume is measured on stocks, bonds, options contracts,
futures contracts, and all types of commodities.
 Volume increase means an increase in the total trading volume of a stock at a
market price. Conversely, a decrease in volume means a decrease in the
trading volume of a stock.
 Volume reflects the strength of a stock, an index, and generally a price in the
market. Volume also tells you the liquidity of a certain market, or even the
quality of a trend (strengthening or weakening).
Volume will tell you the following information:
  Increased volume means that the market is interested in that price compared
to other prices in the market. And this is also understood in both terms of
buying volume and selling volume (many people prefer to buy at that price
or prefer to sell at that price).
 A market with high volume also means that the market is actively traded and
has high liquidity.
 High volume is also characteristic of a new trend forming, such as when
price has just broken out of a previous sideways period. Or it is also possible
that at the time when the market is about to bottom, the selling volume
increases dramatically and shows that investors are panicking and selling off
their trading positions.

 Low volume shows that the market is unstable, illiquid, investors lack
confidence when trading at that price. It can also be indicative of a sideways
market period.
 Increasing volume is a signal that the market is about to have a new
breakout, but can also make a top or bottom. Either way, an increase in
volume indicates that a new spike is about to take place in the market.
 Because it reflects market sentiment very well, volume is often used in
conjunction with trend analysis and market price behavior analysis.
