After more than a decade of robust transformation, Vietnam's private sector has evolved from a "recognized position" to a "key driver" of national growth. Its development across three distinct phases—foundational (2010–2015), acceleration (2016–2020), and breakthrough (2021–2024)—not only reflects the sector's maturation but also mirrors the evolution of institutional thinking and the operational capabilities of Vietnamese enterprises in the currents of global integration. From initial limitations to resilient post-pandemic recovery, the private sector has affirmed its indispensable role in GDP growth and economic restructuring. As the economy shifts towards digital growth and innovation in the 2025–2030 period, establishing a strategy to leverage this sector as the "most important driving force" is not just a development requirement but a prerequisite for Vietnam to achieve its goal of becoming a prosperous and sustainable nation by 2045.

From initial limitations to resilient post-pandemic recovery, the private sector has affirmed its indispensable role in GDP growth and economic restructuring. As the economy shifts towards digital growth and innovation in the 2025–2030 period, establishing a strategy to leverage this sector as the "main driving force" is not just a development requirement but a prerequisite for Vietnam to achieve its goal of becoming a prosperous and sustainable nation by 2045. In Part 1 of this study by researchers from the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH), we will explore the development of the private sector within Vietnam's economic trajectory.

Vietnamese people play a central role in both productive forces and relations of production, yet continue to face limitations in skills and ownership rights. The lack of synchronization between these two factors diminishes production efficiency and workers’ rights, necessitating the comprehensive development of Vietnamese people in the digital era. In Part 2 of the research study “The Decisive Role of Vietnamese People in Ensuring that Relations of Production Align with the Development of Productive Forces in the Nation’s New Era,” the UEH research team has proposed directions for innovating Vietnamese human development within relations of production and productive forces in the nation’s era of rising.

Facing the pressure of converging crises, including ecological, social, and economic challenges, GDP is no longer a sufficient measure of society's expectations for a happy life. The study "Sustainable Development – A Multidimensional Perspective on Happiness" by an author from the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH), analyzing 24 Asia-Pacific countries from 2014 to 2022, emphasizes the harmony among the three pillars of economy, society, and environment in the process of sustainable community development.

In the context of escalating global climate change, climate transition risk (CTR) has emerged as a critical component of bank risk management. Vietnam, with its commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, is witnessing a growing interest from commercial banks in integrating environmental factors into their business operations while controlling risk. Building on this context, a study by researchers from UEH Mekong, University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH), analyzes the impact of CTR on banks' risk-taking levels—including total risk, systemic risk, firm-specific risk, and Z-score—under the moderating effect of digital transformation within the Vietnamese commercial banking system.
