HSBC have recently trimmed Vietnam’s 2021 growth forecast from 6.6 per cent to 6.1 per cent, reflecting the impact of the recent outbreak. That said, once Vietnam is able to contain Covid-19, it should regain its momentum quickly.
Vietnam will likely survive on a two-scenario forecast for economic growth this year, at either 6.56 per cent on the safe side or at as high as 6.81 per cent, according to the latest VEPR report.
