Economists on September 16 forecast Vietnam may find it harder to tame inflation in Q4 and 2023.

Vietnam needs to pay special attention to the risk of imported inflation as the current low inflation in the country is partly due to low consumer demand.

Intellectual property, labor rights, and environmental protection are issues that Vietnam should focus on to meet requirements from the EU-Vietnam Trade Agreement.

Vietnam’s economic prospects in the remaining months of the year would depend on the country’s efforts in ending the current Covid-19 outbreak.

In case the US can fully disburse the entire US$1.9-trillion stimulus package, Vietnam’s GDP could expand by an addition of 0.76 percentage points.

The top priority at this time is ensuring social security, keeping the macroeconomic environment stable, and supporting businesses that are still in operation.

A resurgence of Covid-19 in a number of countries across the world and geopolitical tensions between major powers continue to pose major risks to Vietnam’s economy.

Growing Chinese investment to Vietnam could turn the Southeast Asian country into a transshipment point for China to reroute its exports to a third country.

The development of a Covid-19 vaccine is necessary for the Vietnam's economy to return to its pre-Covid-19 status.

For this year, 24 out of 63 provinces/cities have fully disclosed information on their respective budgets, scoring 75 points and more, while in 2018, only six provinces did so.
