Economic indicators in June showed a robust recovery of Vietnam’s economy thanks to favorable external and recovering domestic demands. Economic growth in the second quarter was unexpectedly high with impressive performances of both export-oriented manufacturing and services sectors. Furthermore, inflation was still under control in the context of rising global commodity prices. We expect that recovering domestic demand, backing by the pent-up demand, fiscal support, and the promising spending from foreign visitors, would be a foundation for the economic acceleration in the next quarter.
