VOV.VN - Vietnam has reasonable grounds for recording an economic growth rate of 6 - 6.5% ahead in 2024, and the goal is set to be met if several hurdles are removed, says Prof. Dr. Hoang Van Cuong, member of the National Assembly Committee for Financial and Budgetary Affairs.

VOV.VN - Many prestigious international organizations such as VinaCapital and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) have forecast that Vietnamese GDP will continue seeing strong growth in 2024, rising to be among the 20 highest growing economies globally.

With 90.49% of approval votes, the National Assembly (NA) on November 9 adopted a resolution on the socio-economic development plan for 2024, which sets a target of 6.0 - 6.5% growth in gross domestic product (GDP) for the year.

Vietnam’s gross domestic product (GDP) growth has been the highest in Southeast Asia over the last decade, according to US-based website seekingalpha.com.

Standard Chartered Bank maintained robust 2024 GDP growth forecast of 6.7% for Vietnam in its latest macro-economic updates about the Southeast Asian nation.

VOV.VN - The Ministry of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade in the Canadian province of Ontario in coordination with the Vietnam Trade Office in Canada on October 24, co-hosted a workshop reviewing 5 years of carrying out the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Thailand Partnership (CPTPP), while promoting trade and investment in Vietnam amid Canada implementing the Indo-Pacific Strategy.

VOV.VN - Vietnam’s GDP growth is projected to slow down from 8% in 2022 to 4.7% in 2023 before rising to 6.5% in 2024, according to Michael Kokalari, CFA. Chief Economist at VinaCapital.

Although Vietnam’s economy showed signs of recovery in the third quarter of this year, particularly in industrial production and exports, a significant increase in headline inflation has emerged as a cause for concern, prompting scrutiny from policymakers.

Experts from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) maintained their forecast for Vietnam’s GDP growth at 4.7% in 2023 but expressed their optimism about the medium-term prospects, with GDP growth predicted to reach 5.8% in 2024 and 6.9% in 2025.

Vietnam’s economy has made good recovery since the beginning of this year; however, inflation risks could weight on the country’s growth outlook, according to experts.
