VOV.VN - Vietnam’s consumer price index (CPI) soared 4.12% in the first seven months of the year, which is bringing to bear pressure on national inflation.

VOV.VN - The 15th National Assembly’s sixth session recently adopted a resolution on the socio-economic development plan for the year, with GDP targeted at 6% to 6.5% and per capita GDP at US$4,700 to US$4,730.

The goal of keeping inflation under 4.5% this year will be totally feasible, as the rate may range between 2.5-3.5%, experts said at a seminar held in Hanoi on July 4.

It will be a challenge to keep Consumer Price Index (CPI) growth under 4% this year, according to an economist.

Vietnam's Consumer Price Index edged up 1.84% year-on-year in 2021, the lowest ever recorded since 2016, according to the General Statistics Office.

Vietnam looks to maintain Consumer Price Index (CPI) growth lower than 1% a month during the last quarter of 2021 in an effort to keep inflation under the 4% target for the year.

VOV.VN - The gross domestic product (GDP) during the initial quarter of the year is estimated to have recorded an increase of 4.48% compared to the same period from last year, according to data released by the General Statistics Office (GSO) at a press conference held on March 29 in Hanoi.

The consumer price index (CPI) climbed 3.85% year-on-year between January and September, the highest nine-month CPI growth over the last five years, the General Statistics Office reported.
