(VOVWORLD) - Financial platform and news website Investing.com recently cited HSBC's Frederic Neumann who presented a positive outlook on Vietnam's economy, forecasting a GDP growth of 6.3% for the upcoming year.
The projection follows an anticipated economic growth of 5% for this year, despite an over 8% decline in export turnovers as reported by the General Statistics Office.
Neumann attributed the resurgence to a global demand rebound that is expected to boost exports, coupled with an increase in domestic spending, according to Investing.com, one of the top three global financial websites in the world. He highlighted that total retail sales and consumer service revenue have seen a substantial growth of 9.7%.
