US REJECTS VIETNAM'S Request to Lift ‘Non-Market Economy’ Tag, 3 August

 THE QUESTION REMAINS HOW WILL THIS NEWS AFFECT THE VALUE OF THE VIETNAMESE DONG


" The Biden administration rejected Vietnam’s request to be classified officially as a “market economy,” a setback for the country’s efforts to boost exports to its most important market."

"The trade-dependent Southeast Asian economy has pressed the administration to revise the status since the upgrade in diplomatic ties during a visit by President Joe Biden to Vietnam in September last year."

"The “non-market” economy label mainly works against Vietnam when the US applies anti-dumping complaints. A change would have been a signal of closer ties at a time when the US is seeking to bolster relationships in the region as a counterweight to China. "

"Vietnam, which has signed numerous free trade agreements, is making greater access to the US market a priority. Its total trade — exports and imports — is equivalent to about twice the size of its economy."
