Vietnam should be prepared for a new wave of FDI inflows after the Covid-19 medical issue is resolved, which could be in around one year from now, said CEO of VinaCapital Don Lam.

Despite high economic openness and growing global uncertainties, Vietnam’s economy still maintains its resilience and is on track for a V-shaped recovery, stated economist Nguyen Minh Phong.

A GRDP growth target of 7.5% for next year will translate into an income per capita of VND135 million (US$5,800), significantly higher than the national average of US$3,700 for a growth forecast of 6%.

In addition to better harness the effective containment of the Covid-19 pandemic, Hanoi aims to accelerate the economic restructuring process for a strong economic rebound this year.

Vietnam is in a better vaccine position to protect itself from imposing another lockdown.
