Article Abstract:

A host of problems continues to plague Vietnam's planned transition from central planning to the marketplace. The country is having difficulty absorbing the huge amounts of foreign investments that have begun arriving since 1994.

Furthermore, corruption, red tape and disregard for the law are discouraging potential investors.
