Abstract
Despite foreign direct investment occurring in the 1990s, automobile
production in Viet Nam has not progressed beyond assembly. Due to forthcoming trade liberalisation in ASEAN,
these assembly operations are endangered from
closure as car-makers consider shifting to imports from more developed automobile manufacturing countries in the region. This paper analyses the current state of the automotive industry in Viet Nam and seeks to formulate policy recommendations based on the findings.
