HO CHI MINH CITY, VIETNAM - FEBRUARY 21: A Vietnamese hostess waits to greet people at the observation floor of the Saigon skydeck February 21, 2011 in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The 68 floor Bitexco skyscraper is the tallest building in Vietnam, it opened in October 2010. Over the past year many luxury brands have surfaced in new shopping centers as wealthy Vietnamese spend their money for high priced cars and expensive items. Vietnam has experienced rapid growth since it made a shift to a socialist- oriented market economy, slowly integrating into the world's economy. In 2010 the GDP reached $104.6 billion. According to a forecast by the Pricewaterhouse Coopers in 2008, Vietnam may be the fastest growing of emerging economies by 2025, with a potential growth rate of almost 10% per year.
