Vietnamese economy to expand 6.83 percent this year
PANO - Vietnam’s economic growth is predicted to reach 6.83 percent in 2018, with an inflation rate of 4.21 percent.
This information was highlighted by the Vietnam Institute for Economic and Policy Research (VEPR) at a workshop to release its Vietnam Annual Economic Report, on May 8 in Hanoi.
According to this prediction, the country’s full-year economic growth rate exceeds the National Assembly-approved target (6.5-6.7 percent).
In an unfavorable situation, the growth rate would only reach 6.49 percent, while inflation may be at 3.86 percent.
