| It was predicted that the end of the Multi-Fibre Agreement (MFA) would be a major challenge for smaller economies like Vietnam which relied heavily on the quotas. However, like many of the smaller economies in Asia, Vietnam has done very well in the post quota era. As per WTO figures, Vietnam’s share in world exports of clothing was 0.90% in the year 2000 which increased to 1.76% in the year 2005. Though the growth in exports of clothing in Vietnam during 2005 was a moderate 8% as compared to year 2003 when it was 32% and 28% in the year 2004, it has been able to increase its market share in most of the important sourcing destinations.
