Vietnam will strive for an average income of US $2,100 by 2015 or up by 1.7 times of the figure in 2010, according to the draft plan on socio-economic development.
The draft was, on November 23rd, made public by the Ministry of Investment and Planning for opinions.
Under the draft plan, Vietnam’s GDP is expected to increase 7-8 per cent per year between 2011 and 2015, and the population will be less than 93 million with an average life expectancy of 74 years.
The draft plan also aims to create jobs for some 8 million people and the actual income of people will rise by 2-2.5 times, while the rate of poor households will fall by 2 per cent per year.
Deputy Minister of Investment and Planning, Cao Viet Sinh, said he hoped that all the objectives set in the draft will become a useful handbook for Vietnamese businessmen and people to direct their businesses.
