In order to obtain proxies for Vietnam’s indebtedness, some compulsory ratios were computed, including external public debt to GDP ratio (DEBTRATIO), external private debt to GDP ratio (PRIVATEDEBTRATIO), foreign direct investment to GDP ratio (FDIRATIO) and trade openness to GDP ratio (OPEN). To have more observations, we apply the proportional first differences bench marking (PFD) method to derive quarterly estimates from annually one, this method was proposed by Denton (1971).
