Vietnam among 10 most optimistic countries globally: Nielsen
Though consumer confidence in Vietnam dropped slightly in the second quarter, the country is the seventh most optimistic country globally, according to the latest survey from information and measurement firm Nielsen.
Nguyen Huong Quynh, managing director of Nielsen Vietnam, said in a statement the fact that Vietnamese continue to be optimistic about the local economy in comparison to other countries reflects “rising affluence in our country, the continued growth of middle class populations and a stable government’s economic outlook.”
The study also revealed that consumers in Southeast Asia are still among the most confident in the world. The Philippines, with 132 points, surpasses India to become the most optimistic country globally. Indonesian remains the third most confident, with 119 points.
