ODA for Vietnam totals US$80 billion
The official development assistance (ODA) received by Vietnam from 1993 to 2012 amounts to US$80 billion, the Ministry of Planning and Investment has reported.
The Red River Delta received the highest proportion of the aid, US$10.42 billion, and the Central Highlands got the least, with US$1.36 billion.
ODA has helped Vietnam rise from a low-income country to become one of the world’s lower-middle-income economies, the ministry said.
At present, Japan remains the largest bilateral investor in the country, while the World Bank tops multilateral investors.
