The figures were revealed in Vietnam’s strategy for the development of services sector in 2021-2030, with vision to 2050.
To realize the target, the plan expects the government to push for a more drastic institutional reform and promote greater transparency, efficiency and competitiveness of services sector during the Industry 4.0, which is essential as the country is expanding integration into the global economy.

In the first quarter of this year, the service sector witnessed positive growth of 3.34% as the Covid-19 pandemic is gradually contained, contributing 35.7% to the overall economic growth of 4.48%.
