In this photo taken Sunday, Sept. 9, 2012, a street vendor walks by the Trang Tien Plaza super mall which has been closed for a year for renovation in Hanoi, Vietnam. Once seen as an emerging Asian dynamo racing to catch up with its neighbors, Vietnam's economy is mired in malaise, dragged down by debt-hobbled banks, inefficient and corrupt state-owned enterprises and bouts of inflation.
