IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the

correct answer to each of the questions.

Vietnam is a densely-populated, developing country that in the last 30 years has had

to recover from the ravages of war. Substantial progress was achieved from1986 to 1997

in moving forward from an extremely low level of development and significantly

reducing poverty. Since 2001, Vietnamese authorities have reaffirmed their commitment

to economic liberalization and international integration. They have moved to implement

the structural reforms needed to modernize the economy and to produce more

competitive, export-driven industries. .

Vietnam's membership in the ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA) and entry into force

of the US-Vietnam Bilateral Trade Agreement in December 2001. have led to even more

rapid changes in Vietnam's trade and economic regime. Vietnam's exports to the US

doubled in 2002 and again in 2003.

Vietnam joined the WTO (World Trade Organization) in January 2007, following

over a decade long negotiation process.

This

should provide ail important boost to the

economy and should help to ensure the continuation of liberalizing reforms.

Vietnam is working to create jobs to meet the challenge of a labor force that is

growing by more than one million people every year. Vietnamese authorities have

tightened monetary and fiscal policies to

stem

high inflation. Hanoi is targeting an

economic growth rate of 7. 5-8% during the next five years.
