[Business Luncheon] Mid-Year Review And Forecast For The Second Half Of The Year On The Vietnamese Economy

Vietnam’s GDP in the second quarter of 2023 increased by 4.14% and in the first 6 months of 2023 grew by 3.72%. Vietnam targets GDP growth of 6.5% in 2023. However, with the external environment likely to remain unfavourable, the economy is expected to struggle in the second half of the year. Is it still possible to reach the targeted GDP?

Key talking points:

• Analysis of Vietnam Q2 GDP, CPI, GSO’s social economic report

• Breakdown of the latest EuroCham Business Confidence Index survey

• How are Vietnamese consumers affected by the downturn

• What are the main factors to look out for, especially in view of structural shifts including supply chain relocation, trends towards de-globalization/regionalization of economic activities, and the rise of ASEAN?

• How to maximise the effectiveness of support recovery and socio-economic development policy

• Forecast scenarios on growth and inflation on Vietnam’s economic performance in the second half of the year
