Vietnam - a 2013 Market Snapshot And The Outlook For 2014 And Beyond

Despite government efforts to stimulate the economy through tax breaks and accommodative monetary policy, Vietnam’s economy has not been able to jumpstart from the growth slowdown. Vietnam’s real GDP growth is forecasted at 5.3% in 2013 and 5.4% in 2014. Without broad structural reforms, Vietnam will be facing the threat of long, slow growth, which eventually will undermine investor confidence and further worsen growth prospects.
