Digital economic development in the context of globalization: Research in Vietnam

The Fourth Industrial Revolution marks a remarkable development in the use of data and technology in all activities of social life. The trend of digitalizing the economy and social activities is taking place very quickly in many countries. The digital economy has become an increasingly important contributor to the gross domestic product of countries, especially in the post-COVID-19 recovery process. The XIII Congress documents have set the target of the digital economy reaching 20% of GDP by 2025 and 30% by 2030. Vietnam's provinces and cities have also issued resolutions specifying the goals of digital transformation and digital economic development for their localities. Digital economic development is considered an optimal solution to realize the aspiration of developing a strong and prosperous Vietnam, becoming a developed country, following a socialist orientation. In recent times, our Party and State have had many policies and guidelines to encourage the development of the digital economy. Thanks to that, the digital economy has made impressive progress, making Vietnam the leading digital economy in the region. However, besides the achieved results, many problems are arising in the development of the digital economy in our country today.. Keywords: Development, Digital Economy, Globalization
