Crude oil is a major export commodity. Much of the other export commodities are farm-based (coffee, tea, rubber, rice).
Vietnam's technology and innovation is nascent. Telecommunications infrastructure is improving. Cell phone and Internet usage is rapidly growing. However, the country is a follower in terms of technological innovation. The education system does not support strong innovation. Development in other areas, such as pharmaceutical or manufacturing, is slow.

This dependence on the rainfall to multiply makes malaria to have a particular cycle of the infections in these tropic regions. The dry and the wet seasons usually alternate, hence the malaria outbreaks usually follow the rainy seasons. It is also worth noting that the intensity of the malaria transmission is tied on the type of mosquito vector that is in a given region. It is true that the anopheles
Economic development of Eastern and Western Europe over the course of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries obviously differed, but not to the extent that historians or economists have frequently imagined. Put simply, the economic histories of Eastern and Western Europe are frequently viewed according to either region's differing political organizations, with the capitalist West opposed to the Communist East, but in reality, the period of time defined by the rise

The role of the World Bank was thus
