Solutions for Developing the Digital Economy in Ho Chi Minh City

Objective

"The study conducts an in-depth analysis of the current state and exemplary digital economy development strategies in both advanced economies and emerging countries worldwide. At the same time, it carefully examines the indicators and measurement frameworks for the digital economy established by reputable international organizations (OECD, ADB, DESI, etc.), as well as the methodologies that various countries employ to timely forecast digital economy growth. Drawing on these insights, the research team proposes a long-term strategy for digital economy development tailored to Vietnam, along with a practical measurement methodology designed to accurately determine the value-added contribution of the digital economy to GDP at the provincial and municipal levels under conditions of data scarcity. The proposed approach also incorporates mechanisms for timely reporting and forecasting to ensure that localities can effectively monitor progress and achieve the national targets set for the digital economy’s share in GDP."
