VOV.VN - Vietnam’s economic resilience and competitive wages are both prominent factors in attracting investment from international firms, with 28% of respondents in the HSBC Global Connections’ survey naming these as the most important reasons behind their investment decisions in the country.

VOV.VN - Andreas Stoffers, country director of the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom (FNF) in Vietnam, has predicted that the local economy will continue its growth track moving forward.

There are concrete signs that Vietnam’s exports are set to recover in the fourth quarter driven by a bottoming out of the US inventory cycle and by an acceleration in multinational firms’ movement of manufacturing to Vietnam.

VOV.VN - Vietnam has continued to strongly attract foreign direct investment (FDI) thanks to its advantages such as macroeconomic stability, low inflation, and high GDP growth amid global uncertainties, said Deputy Minister of Planning and Investment, Tran Quoc Phuong.

VOV.VN - The country’s economic growth is forecast to be positive over the short term, according to predictions made the London-based audit service supplier PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC).

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

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.

VOV.VN - Financiers from the Republic of Korea (RoK) poured in US$2.34 billion into the Vietnamese market in the opening seven months of the year, according to the Foreign Investment Agency under the Ministry of Planning and Investment.

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 - Vietnam is relying too much on monetary policies in order to stimulate demand. However, loosening lending standards and lowering interest rates serve to reduce asset quality, thereby creating asset bubbles, according to economic experts.
