Abstract: The current public debt crisis in the (European Union) EU began in Greece in November 2009, quickly spreading
to Ireland (September 2010), Portugal (January 2012), Spain (June 2012), Italy (November 2012) and most recently,
Cyprus (March 2013). This crisis has not only impacted on the Europe but also on the entire global economy, including
that of Vietnam. This article will analyze the causes of this crisis, its impacts on the economy of Vietnam and lessons
for Vietnam to avoid a potential public debt crisis and guarantee sustainable development. Public debt is a relatively
complex concept that most current approaches agree to refer to the sum of debt whose obligation to repay falls on the
government of a country . According to the World Bank (WB)’s approach, public debt is understood as the liability of four
main groups of institutions: (i) Central government liability, (ii) Local government liability, (iii) Central banking institution
liability, and (iv) Liabilities of independent organizations, state-owned enterprises of whose capital the state owns more
than 50%, or other organizations whose debt the government has the responsibility to settle should they fails to do this. This definition is similar to that of the Debt Management and Financial Analysis System (DMFAS) of the United Nations
Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD)
Keywords: international relations, Vietnam, the European Union, crisis, finances, global economy, state, politics, interests, conflict.
