This chart compares the GDP of Vietnam and major South American countries from 1980 to 2024. Vietnam's economic growth, particularly since the 2000s, stands out, with the GDP gap between Vietnam and some South American countries narrowing. This can be attributed to Vietnam's rapid industrialization and economic reforms.
