According to statistics of the Ministry of Information and Communication, industry revenue in 2011 reached over US$16 billion, including software and digital content contributing the fastest growth rate and contributing $2 billion to the total. Under the project Making Viet Nam Into a Strong IT Country, the IT sector was becoming an important engine to ensure growth and sustainable development. By 2020, the industry was expected to account for 8-10 per cent of GDP. Viet Nam has also targeted joining the top ten countries in provision of outsourcing services and digital content to rank in the top third in e-Government readiness.
