Evaluation of the Law on Public Debt Management of Vietnam and some Policy Implications

In Vietnam, the scale of public debt tends to increase dramatically and has approached the limit set by the National Assembly. This fact indicates the need to enhance the effectiveness of public debt management. Meanwhile, the Law on Public Debt Management in 2009, after eight years of implementation, has revealed some shortcomings that need to be amended and supplemented. In such context, the draft revision of the Law on Public Debt Management has been developed and is expected to be passed at the fourth session of the 14th National Assembly in October - November this year.

Vietnam: Der Entführungsfall TXT

Dem Entführten droht die Todesstrafe und den Deutsch-Vietnamesischen Beziehungen eine Belastung

Der ehemalige Leiter eines staatlichen Unternehmens in Vietnam wurde im Juli 2017 in Berlin entführt. Die vietnamesische Position lautet, er habe sich freiwillig den Behörden vor Ort gestellt. Ihm wird Korruption und Unterschlagung in einem besonders schweren Fall vorgeworfen, ihm droht damit nun die Todesstrafe. Der Fall hat das Potential, die deutsch-vietnamesischen Beziehungen, bisher eher von Pragmatismus geprägt, nachhaltig zu verschlechtern.

Vietnam: Eine Steuer für den Umweltschutz

Füllt sie die leere Staatskasse oder ist sie eine Belastung für die Wirtschaft?

Das vietnamesische Finanzministerium fordert eine Erhöhung der Umweltschutzsteuer. Doch der Vorschlag stößt auf Kritik, da eine Belastung für die einheimische Wirtschaft befürchtet wird. Um den Schutz der Umwelt geht es in der Diskussion bisher offenbar nur nachrangig.
