VEPR: Vietnamese economy could grow by 6.3% in 2021
Wed, 28 April 2021
The Vietnamese economy could grow by about 6-6.3 per cent in 2021, said chief economist Pham The Anh from the Vietnam Institute for Economic and Policy Research (VEPR) during a workshop recently held to announce the Vietnam Quarterly Macro-Economic Report.
VEPR’s report said the global economy has shown signs of recovery thanks to the availability of Covid-19 vaccines, but instability remains while growth is uneven among nations and economies.
In the first quarter, Vietnam’s economic growth hit 4.48 per cent thanks to the government’s drastic actions to control the pandemic from the early stages, along with the signing of the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement and the EU-Vietnam Investment Protection Agreement.
