Vietnam Report and the online newspaper Vietnamnet have announced a list of the 500 most profitable companies (PROFIT500) in Vietnam in 2023.

In the current economic context, innovating the growth model is an urgent requirement from both micro and macro angles, heard a business forum held in Ho Chi Minh City on August 17.

Vietnam’s economic growth is likely to rebound in 2024 and 2025, according to Dorsati Madani, Senior Economist at the World Bank (WB).

VOV.VN - A challenging external environment and weaker domestic demand is leading to a slowdown in economic growth in Vietnam, but the economy will pick up pace in the second half of 2023 and the following years, the World Bank said in an economic update released on August 10.

Despite strong efforts and more positive signals recorded, Vietnam’s economic growth stood at only 3.72% in the first half of 2023, putting heavy pressure on the realisation of this year’s GDP growth target of 6.5%, said Deputy Minister of Planning and Investment Tran Quoc Phuong.

With flourishing economic results in the first six months of this year, many enterprises in Ho Chi Minh City expect to keep pace with the growth momentum to accelerate their production and business activities in the coming months.

VOV.VN - Malaysia has affirmed its commitment to accelerating green economic growth schemes that are both sustainable and friendly to environment in Vietnam, said Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim on July 21 at the Malaysia-Vietnam Business Forum in Hanoi.

It’s a big challenge for the economy to reach this year’s GDP growth target of 6.5%, and economic expansion is hoped to be boosted by some important demand factors in the second half of 2023, experts have said.

VOV.VN - Although the growth rate has slowed down amid global economic difficulties, Vietnam is outperforming most countries in the world, and is regarded as an attractive destination for direct foreign direct investment (FDI) in the manufacturing sector.
