British newspaper forecasts Vietnam GDP growth at just 6.3%

The EIU projected just a 6.3% growth rate for Vietnam this year and 6.5% for next year far below the government targets and much lower than what is needed to move the country forward in meeting its desired long-term growth targets.

On the brighter side, the EIU said thanks to more foreign direct investment inflows and more streamlined governmental administrative procedures export growth will expand 9.1% this year.
