The article said that, with the recovery of exports and domestic sales, Vietnam's economy has rebounded strongly in the second quarter. Vietnam’s gross domestic product (GDP) growth for the quarter was 7.72%, the biggest increase in 11 years. Vietnam's GDP growth for the first six months of the year should be 6.42%, far exceeding the government's expectation of 5.5%.
