| [ADB] Vietnam's Economy Outlook - Sep 2010 | ![]() | ![]() |
Here's the summary: Steps taken by the government to stabilize the economy have contributed to an improvement in the external and foreign reserves positions. Economic growth quickened in the second quarter of this year relative to the first and is now forecast to be slightly higher in both 2010 and 2011 than anticipated in April. Projections for inflation are lowered a touch. This outlook assumes that policies during the forecast period focus on macroeconomic stability and that the policy stance is communicated effectively, while also addressing structural reforms. The report also mentions that: Industry expanded by 6.5% in the first half of 2010, with double- digit growth in production of electricity, gas, and water, and a rebound in manufacturing to nearly 8% growth (from just 2% a year earlier) as world trade in manufactured goods recovered.
