COMPETITIVE INDUSTRIAL PERFORMANCE INDEX 2018
âą CIP index is developed from three dimensions and
8 indicators
âą Viet Namâs CIP ranking has been improved
significantly in the period 2006-2016, ranking 6th a
mong 10 ASEAN members
âą Viet Namâs position is still far behind some
comparators
âą Viet Namâs improvement is mainly derived from
export aspects (MXpc, MXqual, ImWMT), not from
value added (MVApc, INDint, ImWMVA)

The rise of the âMighty Fiveâ:
âą The five Asia Pacific nations of Malaysia, In
dia, Thailand, Indonesia, and Vietnam
(MITI-V aka the âMighty Fiveâ) are
expected to pierce the top 15 nations on
manufacturing competitiveness over the
next five years.
âą These nations could represent a âNew
Chinaâ in terms of low cost labor, agile ma
nufacturing capabilities, favorable
demographic profiles, market and
economic growth
Top drivers of manufacturing
competitiveness:
âą Talent
âą Cost competitiveness
âą Productivity
âą Supplier network
In an era of sluggish economic growth,
containing costs and increasing productivity
to boost profits remains critical for
manufacturers, alongside building a strong
network and ecosystem of suppliers.

17. ⶠImprovement in CIP index derives mainly from manufactured export
performance
ⶠVietnamâs competitive advantage is mainly based on market size
ⶠMVA and MVA per capita of Viet Nam are still the lowest among ASEAN6
ⶠManufactured export performs well, but are still lower than that of ASEAN4
and highly relies on FDI
ⶠIncrease in export value but decrease in the share of domestic value added
ⶠStructure change is driven by market-seeking FDI, does not show the trend
toward more industrialized
