This Global Data Barometer Country profile for Vietnam provides a quick overview of the strengths and weaknesses with regards to data capabilities, governance, availability and impact, and in comparison with other countries in the region and globally.

Vietnam showed strengths in the Governance and Capabilities. In particular, a decree was introduced under the law in 2020 that covers data management and sharing, although there is no specific law for data protection. Training for civil servants are also implemented under a national digital transformation programme since 2015. In terms of availability, Vietnam may need to improve on data availability, which will subsequently increase use and impact of open data.
