II. ACHIEVEMENTS OF VIETNAM STATISTICS SECTOR

During the process of formation and development, the Viet Nam Statistical Sector has gradually matured, effectively served the cause of national construction and protection as requested by the Party and State over each period.

In the early days of its establishment, in spite of simple organization structure, small number of staff and limited professional qualifications, the Viet Nam Statistics Bureau overcame numerous difficulties, self-trained in professional skills, and conducted activities to collect and compile information to serve the Party, the Government and the Inter-zones directing the resistance against French colonialism and constructing the country. During this period, the Viet Nam Statistics Bureau compiled monthly reports summarizing the socio-economic situation of the free zones and newly liberated zones, economic analysis reports for the three years 1947-1949, and specialized reports on rent and interest reduction, development of teams for labor revolving, and labor exchange in the free zones. In addition, the Viet Nam Statistics Sector also conducted a number of specialized surveys, including the 1951-1952 Rural Survey to assess the current situation and potentiality of rural areas so that the Party and Government had sufficient information to make decisions to foster and mobilize people’s strength to contribute to the victory in the 1953 Autumn-Winter Campaign and the historic Dien Bien Phu Campaign.

In the period of 1954-1975, the North entered the period of building socialism and fought together with the South to unify the country. In this period, the Viet Nam Statistics Sector focused its resources on building the apparatus and technical facilities, training staff, researching professional methods and orienting statistical activities in accordance with the new situation and tasks. By the end of 1957, most of the provinces and centrally-run cities in the North had local statistical offices.

Despite the small number of staff and limited professional qualifications, the Central Statistics Office in the years 1956-1965 and the General Statistics Office in the following years coordinated with local statistical offices and statistics organizations within other ministries to develop the National Statistical Indicator System, develop and implement the periodic statistical reporting system, an initial recording system, and conduct a population census and a number of specialized surveys. On that basis, the Viet Nam Statistics Sector provided information to serve all level authorities/agencies in building, managing and operating the economy and developing socio-economic development plans.

An important task done by the Viet Nam Statistics Sector during this period was to participate in reviewing and announcing the results of the completion of the annual State planning targets that was well implemented by the Viet Nam Statistics Sector. Thereby, it contributed to helping the Party and the State closely assess the implementation of the socio-economic development plan targets, serving as a basis for developing subsequent plans.

Since the late 1960s, realizing the effects of mechanization and automation in statistical work, the Viet Nam Statistics Sector developed a project “Improving calculation techniques, gradually mechanizing and automating calculation work in Vietnam” which was approved by the Government in Resolution No. 168/CP dated 25 November 1968. Implementing this project, the Viet Nam Statistics Sector soon introduced information technology into statistical work. In the early 1970s, the General Statistics Office built computer stations in the Central and many localities, contributing significantly to accelerate the speed and accuracy in processing survey results and preparing statistical reports, providing timely information to the Party and State agencies. During this period, the Viet Nam Statistics Sector was proud to be the agency equipped with the leading modern computer system in Viet Nam.

In 1975, the South was completely liberated and the country was unified. In order to collect and compile information nationwide, the Viet Nam Statistics Sector quickly established and consolidated the organization of the Provincial Statistical Offices in the South with the core staff mobilized from capable and experienced statistical officers in the General Statistics Office and the Northern Provincial Statistical Offices. Hundreds of officers from the General Statistics Office and the Northern Provincial Statistical Offices volunteered to work in the Southern localities for the development of the Viet Nam Statistics Sector. By the end of 1977, all provinces and centrally run cities in the South had provincial statistical offices; and the statistical offices in districts, towns, and provincial cities.

In the period 1976-1985, the organization of the Viet Nam Statistics Sector was relatively complete, the Viet Nam Statistics Sector focused on researching and building initial recording and unified accounting systems; strengthening the review and announcement of plan completion; consolidating the estimated reporting and official reporting systems, and expanding the form of information collection through statistical surveys, especially basic surveys to serve the development of the 5-year socio-economic development plan (1976-1980; 1981-1985). The year 1979 was also the first year that the country conducted a population census nationwide.

From 1986 to present, after 30 years of implementing the Party’s “Doi moi” policy, creating new position and strength for the country, the Viet Nam Statistics Sector has also had remarkable changes.

Regarding the legal environment, the promulgation of the Accounting and Statistics Ordinance in 1988, followed by the Statistics Law in 2003 and the Statistics Law (revised) in 2015, along with a system of other legal documents, has created an extremely important and increasingly complete legal framework, helping statistical activities to gradually become more organized and integrated. In particular, the 2015 Statistics Law was developed and ratified with many new points to fully regulate statistical activities arising in socio-economic life. Given the 2015 Statistics Law, the role and position of the centralized statistical system has been significantly enhanced.

In conjunction with the system of legal documents, the Development orientation of the Viet Nam Statistics Sector to 2010 and the Viet Nam Statistical Development Strategy for the period 2011 – 2020 with a vision to 2030 have created a solid foundation, with a long-term vision, clear development viewpoints and goals, specific solutions and action programs to ensure the systematic development of the Viet Nam Statistics Sector in the long term. The Development orientation, the Vietnam Statistical Development Strategy, and other comprehensive projects have gathered the strength and attention of the entire political system, ministries/agencies and all-level authorities in consolidating and developing the Viet Nam Statistics Sector in recent years.

Regarding organization system, the organization structure of the Statistics sector experienced significant changes during this period. On December 12, 1987, the Secretariat of the Party Central Committee and the Minister Council Standing Committee issued the Notice No. 46/TB-TW on the re-organization of the apparatus of Party, State and mass organizations. In accordance with the Notice, the Provincial and District Statistics Offices were transferred from the General Statistics Office to the People’s Committees at their respective administrative level. The GSO only assigned annual information and management plans and provided professional and technical guidance to Provincial Statistics Offices. However, this type of organization model caused some certain backward steps in the statistical work.

Recognizing the need for unified direction in professional statistical operation and data impartiality from the central to local levels, in 1994, the Government reversed the “decentralized” model previously implemented for over seven years and restored the vertical organization model. In the recent years, the central and local Statistics Offices underwent reorganization in line with the Government’s administrative reform. On January 4, 2007, the General Statistics Office was merged into the Ministry of Planning and Investment, under the governance of the Minister of Planning and Investment as defined by Decree No. 01/ND-CP of the Government. This period marked by the establishment of District Statistics Offices under the Provincial Statistics Offices, replacing the former District Statistics Divisions that strengthened position, role and capacity of District Statistics Offices.

The position and duties of the statistics organizations within ministries and line-ministries were further specified in the Statistics Law, other legal documents and the Government Decree No. 03/2010/ND-CP dated January 13, 2010, which outlined duties, powers and organization structure of the statistics bodies in ministries and line-ministries. Accordingly, the structures of the statistics organizations within ministries and line-ministries were re-organized as well as their manpowers were strengthened in an increasingly professional manner.

Regarding statistical expertise, the transition from a centrally planned economy to a socialist-oriented market economy, coupled with the implementation of an open-door and integration policy necessitated a comprehensive innovation of the Statistics sector for the sake of effectively evaluating and forecasting both domestic and international changes. Key areas of statistical innovation included: (1) Reforming Statistical Indicator Systems, (2) Reforming information collection, processing, and transmission methods (3) Updating statistical classifications, (4) Reforming of content and methodology for business statistics, key economic regions statistics, and types of economic zone statistics, (5) Reforming statistical analysis and forecasting capabilities, and (6) Updating new statistical domains.

The Statistics sector prioritized the adaptation of methodologies to facilitate innovation and international integration. A pivotal step during this period was the transition from the Material Product System (MPS) to the System of National Accounts (SNA), initiated in 1993 and subsequently updated and revised. The compilation of aggregate statistical indicators such as GDP, GNP, etc. was applied with multiple approaches for comparative purpose. The compilation methodology of Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) in provincial and municipal levels was also innovated, in preparation for official implementation. Several statistical domains were researched in the orientation of localization of international standard methodologies for Viet Nam. The development of diverse types of enterprises and innovation in policies for a multi-sector economy as well as the application of SNA required corresponding innovation in statistical classifications. Consequently, several international standard classifications were researched and appropriately adapted to the local context, including the Viet Nam Standard Industrial Classification (VSIC), Viet Nam Central Product Classification (VCPC), Viet Nam Nomenclature of Exports and Imports, etc.

Remarkable transformation of the economic management mechanism and emerged requirements of national leadership and governance in a market economy led to comprehensive innovation of statistical indicator systems at the national level as well as at the authority levels of domains and localities. The National Statistical Indicator System was first approved by the National Assembly in the 2015 Statistics Law with 186 statistical indicators replacing the National Statistical Indicator System issued by the Prime Minister under Decision No. 43/2010/QD-TTg dated June 2, 2010. The Minister of Planning and Investment issued a Circular stipulating the National Statistical Indicator System; provincial, district and commune statistical indicator systems.

The information collection approach evolved significantly, yielding positive outcomes. The most notable change was the adoption of statistical surveys, particularly sample surveys, replacing the previously common practice of statistical reporting. The Statistics sector conducted planned surveys. Major censuses such as Population and Housing Census, Economic Census, and Rural and Agricultural Census were formally legalized into the 2015 Statistics Law. Other essential statistical surveys were conducted annually as scheduled, enabling proactive preparation, implementation, and information release. Additionally, information from administrative data sources was officially stipulated in the 2015 Statistics Law.

Data processing, aggregation and analysis were innovated following computerization-oriented approach. In 1988, following the initiation of Doi Moi, the Prime Minister’s Directive No. 28/1988/CT-TTg mandated the strengthening and modernization of statistical activities, explicitly calling for: “Developing information technology, nationwide databases and statistical information networks, ensuring convenient transmission and utilization of statistical data”. So far, the technological investment and IT application in the Statistics sector has been sped up. A significant milestone was the successful application of intelligent character recognition (ICR) technology for the first time in the 2009 Population and Housing Census, the 2011 Rural, Agricultural, and Fishery Census, and the 2014 Mid-Term Population and Housing Census. The development and application of specialized software significantly accelerated information processing, enhanced the accuracy of aggregated data, and reduced the workload for statistical staff across all levels. Moreover, the well-maintained databases from Censuses and large surveys facilitated more detailed analysis and long-term data accessibility.

Driven by a commitment to innovation that effectively serves the leadership and governance of the Communist Party, the National Assembly, and the State, and with a view on “User-centered perspective” the Statistical sector was significantly expanded its users in recent years. The volume of information provided to each data user saw a consistent increase, with considerably diversified forms of information dissemination. Statistical products extended beyond traditional publications to include digital formats like floppy disks, CDs, and data files accessible on website. Furthermore, the Statistics sector improved its information dissemination approaches through press conferences, press releases, and a website. As the national coordinator, the General Statistics Office joined the General Data Dissemination System (GDDS). The Prime Minister signed Decision No. 34/2013/QD-TTg, which outlined the policy for State statistical information dissemination, gradually improved these efforts.

Regarding international cooperation: In alignment with the Communist Party and the State’s open foreign policy during the Doi Moi period, Viet Nam Statistics sector significantly expanded its cooperative relationships with international organizations and other National Statistics Offices. The General Statistics Office actively engaged in the statistical activities of organizations such as the United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD), and played a leading role in promoting statistical collaboration within ASEAN, ESCAP, and the East Asia. Notably, in 2010, as a Chair, the GSO successfully hosted the Eleventh ASEAN Heads of Statistical Offices Meeting (AHSOM 11). Subsequently, Viet Nam hosted numerous key international conferences, including the 2014 Conference on Official Statistics Conference (IAOS) and the 24th session of the Asia-Pacific Commission on Agricultural Statistics (APCAS 24). In 2016, Viet Nam Statistics sector became an official member of the ASEAN Community Statistical System. The sector benefited from international assistance in expertise, professional development, and infrastructure, including technical assistance projects from organizations such as UNFPA, UNDP, UNIDO, FAO, UNESCO, UNICEF, ILO, and financial institutions including the World Bank, Asian Development Bank, and International Monetary Fund. Furthermore, the GSO maintained close bilateral cooperation with other national statistical offices with advanced statistical systems, including Sweden, France, the Netherlands, Denmark, Canada, Japan, and Republic of Korea, while also strengthened its long-standing special relations with Russia, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Lao PDR, and Cambodia, etc.

Active international cooperation and integration have made a significant contribution to capacity building for Viet Nam Statistics, facilitated Viet Nam Statistics to fulfill its obligations as a member of the United Nations Statistics, meeting data requirements of the international organizations, embassies and other foreign representative agencies in Viet Nam. As a consequence, the position of Viet Nam Statistics in the international community has been enhanced significantly. According to the World Bank’s statistical capacity assessment for statistical agencies, in 2015, Viet Nam Statistics achieved 82.22 points, ranking the 26^th out of 144 countries engaged and ranking the 3^rd in the Southeast Asia region.

After nearly 80 years of formation and development, Viet Nam Statistics sector has been asserting its important role in providing statistical information to the leaders of the Party, Government, and authorities at all levels to assess, forecast, formulate strategies and policies, socio-economic development plans, as well as to meet the data demand of the organizations and individuals. The information published and provided by the NSO is legally-valid official statistics, domestically and used by sectors, authorities at all levels, the international and domestic organizations and individuals.

Heads of Viet Nam Statistics sector over the years
