(VOVWORLD) -Tim Leelahaphan, Standard Chartered’s economist for Thailand and Vietnam, said Vietnam had been affected by the pandemic like other countries in Asia and other parts of the world, but the bank remained bullish on the country’s economic prospects.
The Standard Chartered bank has forecast a 7 percent economic growth for Vietnam next year. Economic growth is expected to rebound in the fourth quarter when improving global trade will support Vietnam’s imports and exports, according to Standard Chartered.
