With positive results seen in the first half of this year, Việt Nam hopes foreign direct investment (FDI) inflow in 2024 to hit US$40 billion in the whole year.
Financial expert Dr Dinh The Hien said Viet Nam''s GDP growth rate in 2023 will slow to below 7 per cent, but it is still a good growth rate compared to that of ASEAN region.
Despite global volatilities, Viet Nam’s economy has rebounded strongly this year beyond forecasts of many international organisations, making the country become a new ‘tiger’ in Asia.
Standard Chartered Bank (SCB) on Friday increased its forecast for Viet Nam’s GDP growth rate for the whole year to 6.8 per cent, higher than the Government’s set target of 6.7 per cent.
