World Bank Seminar

Tonight the MDE will host a seminar at the World Bank. The guest speaker is Martin Rama, an economist who will explain the World Bank Vietnam Development Report for 2006.

The focus of the report is going to be business. It follows from previous years where the governance and poverty were the central issues.

Vietnam still faces many constraints regarding business development. The lack of access to finance and poor infrastructure mean that small business means family business. There is a gulf between these small entrepreneurs and state run business.

I look forward to hearing what Martin Rama has to say about this.

Hi Nic
Anthea is the Australia volunteer who I hang out with.
Sorry to hear about the pleurisy.
The phone network is very poor - you will probably not have any success although you could try texting.
Otherwise send me an email or post here and I'll respond.
