Vietnam, which was badly damaged by the war, experienced a considerable economic upswing with strong growth rates from the end of the 1980s. The main export goods include food (coffee, tea, rice, bananas, etc.), textiles, petroleum and electronic devices. The growing prosperity is, however, very unevenly distributed between town and country. Around a quarter of the country’s economic power is concentrated in the greater Ho Chi Minh City area, while only 20% of the national income is generated in the rural regions, where 60% of the population live. The capital Hanoi forms a second economic center.
Thanks to a sustained economic upswing, Malaysia has developed from a raw material supplier to a diversified industrial location. According to the HDI, it is one of the countries with a high level of human development. The economy is export-oriented: Malaysia, for example, supplies microchips and solar cells all over the world. A second focus is on raw materials such as crude oil, natural gas and palm oil; Much of the palm oil produced worldwide comes from Malaysia and Indonesia. At the same time, the country is one of the world’s largest rubber producers; two thirds of the global demand for latex gloves, for example, is covered by Malaysia. The exports of the state-owned oil company contribute to the state revenue.
Myanmar was ruled by a military government until 2010, through which the country was internationally isolated for a long time. Although Myanmar has enormous potential thanks to extensive arable land and considerable reserves of natural gas (the largest in Southeast Asia), woods, precious stones, copper and other raw materials, it is one of the least developed countries in the world. There are realistic hopes of an economic upswing, but the infrastructure is currently still in desolation. For more information about the continent of Asia, please check thesciencetutor.org.
