I have checked the figures. While they do tally with what the video stated, meaning Vietnam's figures are bad, they are not the worst ever. But still, they are bad which is kind of puzzling as I expect Vietnam to be like China in the late 1990s or 2000s. Should at least experienced high single-digit growth. Maybe my expectations are wrong which is highly possible since I do not follow Vietnam much.
As for foreign investment, I was shocked initially by the drastic drop but after I checked out Vietnam's past history, it seems that that is the norm for Vietnam. Every few years, there will be a drastic drop in FDI. Just that the most recent drop is a lot more than previous ones in both absolute terms and % wise.
