The Bottom Line
• Overseas Vietnamese (OV) contributions to Vietnam’s economic
  growth are large and significant--est. US$8.45 BB, compared with
  US$16 BB in total FDI and ODA in 2009.
• Vietnam’s economy has large potential but still faces significant
  developmental challenges. OV investment, businesses, and
  knowledge transfer have the power to transform Vietnam’s
  economy in ways other forms of FDI cannot.
• OV investment could be even greater. However, the flow of OV
  capital is informal, dispersed and inefficient because of weak legal
  infrastructure, a lack of dedicated allocation mechanisms, and
  historical mistrust.
• Policy changes and innovative businesses can overcome these
  barriers and provide economic opportunities for Vietnamese
  domestically and internationally.

resulted from commercializing patents, publications, etc.

Recommendations
• Systemic legal reform
     Vietnam must consistently enforce basic property rights.
• Building capacity and platforms in OV community
    Little Saigon must find an efficient means of pooling and
    allocating its capital.
• A path to reconciliation
     It is in the interests of Vietnamese everywhere to contribute
     responsibly to Vietnam’s long-term economic development.

  • 2. Thanh “Tino” Dinh | dinht10@alum.darden.edu The Bottom Line • Overseas Vietnamese (OV) contributions to Vietnam’s economic growth are large and significant--est. US$8.45 BB, compared with US$16 BB in total FDI and ODA in 2009. • Vietnam’s economy has large potential but still faces significant developmental challenges. OV investment, businesses, and knowledge transfer have the power to transform Vietnam’s economy in ways other forms of FDI cannot. • OV investment could be even greater. However, the flow of OV capital is informal, dispersed and inefficient because of weak legal infrastructure, a lack of dedicated allocation mechanisms, and historical mistrust. • Policy changes and innovative businesses can overcome these barriers and provide economic opportunities for Vietnamese domestically and internationally.
