VOV.VN - Vietnam’s total import-export turnover this year is anticipated to reach between US$740 - 750 billion, representing a rise of 13 – 15% over the previous year, according to industry insiders.

VOV.VN - The nation needs to produce a sure and safe roadmap as it moves to reopen activities, according to Andrew Jeffries, country director of the Asian Development Bank in Vietnam.

VOV.VN - The COVID-19 outbreaks in Ho Chi Minh City and many southern provinces are destroying the "health" of local businesses and hindering economic recovery, meaning the economic growth target of 6.5% set by the Government has never been as difficult and challenging as it is now.

Credit growth will expand significantly from Quarter 2 and exceed the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV)’s target of 12% for the year as a whole if the pandemic is brought under good control and the vaccination campaign proves effective, according to insiders.

VOV.VN - Overseas remittances to Ho Chi Minh City remain stable despite the COVID-19 epidemic, with the overall amount anticipated to reach approximately US$5.5 billion this year.

Overseas remittances are expected to fall short of the target this year due to the economic crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and shutdowns around the world.
