Reviewing the Development of Rural Finance in Vietnam

Duong Pham Bao · 2013 · Journal of Economics and Development

Summary. Vietnam's rural financial system has developed successfully since economic reforms, contradicting theories predicting market failures in low-income countries. The study shows that rural finance progresses well when government initiates the system, market mechanisms drive operations, and rural organizations provide institutional support. The author argues against viewing old and new credit paradigms as opposites, instead demonstrating that hybrid approaches combining government leadership, market operations, and community institutions create stable, functioning rural financial markets.
